Reverend Father Alexander Daniel Bitis is a Romanian-American priest originally from Queens, New York. He moved to Connecticut in 2020 to study pedagogy at Quinnipiac University where his wife, Preoteasa Ioana, also began her medical studies.

Fr. Alexander holds a Bachelor’s Degree in History from Hunter College in New York, a Bachelor’s and Licentiate in Pastoral Theology from Facultatea Sfantul Andrei Saguna in Romania, and a Master’s in Pedagogy from Quinnipiac University.

Before answering the call to serve the St. Dimitrie Orthodox Church parish, Father Alexander spent nearly three years teaching at North Branford High School. His passion for teaching and guiding others led him to the priesthood, where he now humbly serves as the new parish priest bringing his rich experience in education, theology, and pastoral care to his community.
