The History of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, San Francisco
* John & Kathleen Bardis approached Fr. Michael Pappas with the desire to donate a mosaic icon of Father Anthony offering Holy Trinity Church to God. The Bardis family wanted to have the icon installed in the sanctuary. This concept was not approved by clergy. A compromise was reached where a mosaic icon would be created of Saint Anthony holding Holy Trinity Church and to have the icon installed in the foyer of the church. The icon was installed and attracts comments from visitors. Many visitors believe that the face of St. Anthony reminds them of Father Anthony.
* A committee was formed for the creation and installation of the Father Anthony Kosturos Memorial. A memorial plaque was installed in a garden near the entrance. On June 7, 2009, the memorial plaque was dedicated by the community( [http://www.sanfranciscogreeks.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=10&pid=1440#top_display_media see photo] ).
* The parish voted to change the name of the meeting hall to the Father Anthony Kosturos Meeting Hall.
