The Greek Grocery Store
A need for parishioners to readily have access to certain Greek food products prompted
Charlie Diamond, with the help of his wife Aleka and with the permission of the Parish
council, to establish the Bakaliko in August 2001 at Saint Katherine. Starting with
a few basics like ‘good’ feta cheese and olives he expanded the inventory to include
various dry goods like; orzo, pastitchio noodles etc., imported canned goods and
some frozen foods. Sadly, the Diamonds moved back to Rochester, New York to be closer
to family.
Mr. Vasilios Menegas has been managing the bakaliko since 2007. We continue to have
the very best imported and domestic Greek food products available. All proceeds generated
from our Bakaliko, go to the Saint Katherine Greek Orthodox Church Operating Fund.
The Bakaliko at the Saint Katherine Community Center is open every Sunday after Divine
Liturgy and closes at 1 PM.
