“Ever-memorable Papa-Dimitri Gagastathis
became holy, a son of God and god by grace
because he kept with exactitude—from the
beginning until the end, till death—the
Confession of Faith and the promises he
made at Holy Baptism.”

— Elder Philotheos Zervakos

“I give Him glory for making you [Papa-Dimitri]
worthy to work in a manner well-pleasing to Him,
especially in these difficult times of material-mindedness
and indifference among the congregation of Christians.”

— Elder Amphilochios Makris

“He [Papa-Dimitri] is an icon for all clergy serving the believers in Jesus Christ the Lord and a witness to married men and women on how to uphold the mystery of Matrimony.”

† NATHANIEL, Archbishop
Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America.
