Message from Metropolitan Alexios
My Beloved Ones,
This past Thursday, we were blessed to experience our Lord’s glorious Ascension into Heaven, with His beautiful promise that, “…I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) While this appears to be the conclusion of a story which began with our Lord’s Nativity & Ministry, and continued with His Passion & Resurrection, the Ascension is not and ending, but a new beginning: The Apostolic Age.
However, before we can celebrate the coming of Holy Spirt at Pentecost, this Sunday, the Church has seen fit to honor the Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council of 325.To read the rest of the Message from Metropolitan Alexios click here.

May 18As we continue to observe this year's bicentennial of Greek Independence, the Metropolis uses this historic moment to focus on a somber anniversary in the struggle for Hellenism: the Fall of the Queen City of Constantinople, on May 29th, 1453. If we look at March 25th, 1821 as the fulfillment of the 400-year struggle to regain our freedom, we commemorate the Fall of the City as a memorial to those who fell in defense of their faith and country, and even as part of an ongoing struggle to maintain religious freedom in Constantinople.Read More
