Message from Metropolitan Alexios
My Beloved Ones,This Sunday, October 2nd, we are blessed to celebrate National Church Music Sunday. The date has been chosen because it is closest to the Feast of St. Romanos the Melodist on October 1st. St. Romanos’ story demonstrates not only the importance of church music, but also of humility, for he was a hymnographer whose chanting and reading were ridiculed by the deacons of Hagia Sophia. Though St. Romanos knew the world considered him unworthy, he was visited by the Theotokos in a dream, and when he awoke, he was able to compose and sing beautiful kontakia. However, he was not given a beautiful voice because he wanted to boast against those who mocked him: he was given this true gift only because he only wished to serve the Lord in a spirit of humility.

It is with gratitude to Almighty God that I am pleased to report that our parish communities in Southwestern Florida (Ft. Myers, Port Charlotte & Naples) are in regular contact with the Metropolis to report only minor damage to their churches, and no loss of life among our brothers and sisters. Truly, it is impossible not to feel God's continual presence--from the time we began to prepare, until today. Even as the storm traveled across the state and out to sea, communities in the Tampa Bay area and Orlando continually express their thankfulness to God for sparing them the worst of the damage.Read More -
