Shaint Vasilios Greek Orthodox Church has served the growing Greek community of Peabody since the turn of the last century. In 1923, it opened its current house of worship on Paleologos Street. A large school is attached to the church, a sign of its ongoing commitment to education. This active community also sponsors a soup kitchen and food pantry, shelter and transitional housing for homeless people, choir, mens club and play groups for young children.
