On Saturday, November 9, 2024, Archon Costa Sideridis, a Regional Commander for the Metropolis of Boston, announced that he and his beloved wife Allyson are becoming FOUNDERS of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Foundation (EPBF), joining his parents, Niko and Despina Sideridis, who became FOUNDERS early on. Meanwhile, the sons of Costa and Allyson, Niko and Alex Sideridis, are becoming Builders of the EPBF.

Dr. Anthony J. Limberakis, National Commander of the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, stated: “The Sideridis family has demonstrated a unique and inspiring generational διακονία for our Holy Mother Church of Constantinople. We thank God for the devotion that Archon Costa and Allyson have for our beloved Ecumenical Patriarchate, a love that clearly Archon Costa received from his parents, both of whom hail from Constantinople, and have in turn passed on to their children in a way that all Greek Orthodox Christians can admire and emulate. Clearly, the Constantinopolitan ethos is in their DNA, and for that we can all be grateful.”
