James Kalogerakos was a member of the St. John the Divine Greek Orthodox Church in Jacksonville, which is third oldest parish in the state of Florida. The current church building was completed in March of 1968, and "Mr. James Kalogerakos, the only living charter member of the church and the oldest parishioner at 100 years of age, cut the ribbon on "Thyranixion Day"." (
