Nestled in the heart of quiet farmland between pine trees and fields, our Holy Dormition of the Theotokos Chapel is a peaceful place conducive to prayer and Christian fellowship. 

In the early 1950's the Saint Andrew community began having regular outings at the Louis Nitsos farmland in New Carlisle. In 1956, Mr. Nitsos and his family deeded five acres of land to our parish. He also constructed a small chapel dedicated to the Theotokos in memory of his parents. 

Priests serving the parish have encouraged the parishioners to preserve and support the Holy Dormition Chapel. We use the Chapel to celebrate the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos (August 15) and to host other ministries such as altar boy retreats, youth summer camps, weddings and baptisms. Many years ago, our parish’s children planted trees on the property that still stand today.

In 2000, under the guidance of Father George Konstantopoulos, the chapel was revived and we once again held regular services there. Thanks to the love, generosity, and commitment of our parishioners and the leadership of our building committee chairman, Mr. Nick Giannakakis, we have been blessed to be able to enlarge the Chapel; it now seats 80 people and holds kitchen and restroom facilities.

By the Grace of God and with the intercessions of the Theotokos, we hope to finish furnishing the Chapel, add a paved path for religious processions, update landscaping, and install a Cross on the Chapel’s roof.

Our Holy Dormition Chapel is located at 32365 Chicago Trail, New Carlisle, IN, 46552
