The Panagia Chapel at the Diakonia Retreat Center is in its final stages. To wrap up the building of the Panagia Chapel, His Eminence has asked that each family give the names of their loved ones, living and deceased to be sealed in the Holy Table during consecration and prayed for during each service held in the Chapel. When submitting names, it is requested that each family prayerfully considers a sponsorship of $30 or more, as you are able, to the completion of the Panagia Chapel’s roof.
To submit names and a sponsorship for this effort, please click contact your parish priest. If you have further questions please contact the Metropolis office at 404-634-9345.
The Panagia Chapel at the Diakonia Retreat Center depicts different designs that derive from the Byzantine era. It will allow visitors to connect with a civilization that dates back over a thousand years.
By connecting with our roots and tradition through the design of the chapel we are engaging our “Ellinochristianikos Politismos,” or our “Helleno-Christian Civilization.”
The Panagia Chapel Furnishings project has been undertaken by several different communities and individuals in our Metropolis. By sponsoring different parts of the furnishings to be placed into the Panagia Chapel at the Diakonia Retreat Center, you, or your family, or your community can be a part of this lasting legacy.

Our Panagia Chapel Doors & Windows program was established as a way to involve the generous members of our Metropolis in the development of our new Panagia Chapel at our Diakonia Retreat Center. Construction of this exciting new monument to Orthodox Christendom is already underway, and there are many exciting opportunities for charitable expression and involvement, in the creation of this beautiful place of worship.
