Liturgical Guideline Reminder
On behalf of His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios, I am reminding our Metropollis of Atlanta Clergy that most Fridays of the year are fast days and as such, His Eminence asks that we not schedule weddings on these days. If a critical and extenuating circumstance exists, as the local Priest, please inform the Chancellor in writing and he will review with the Metropolitan and advise you of a final decision. Thank you for your help for us to be consistent with all our couples getting married.

April 14, 2025
Dear Reverend Fathers,
I hope and pray that you are all well.
At the direction of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, I would like to share with you all the 2025 Paschal Encyclical of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. Please note that this is to be read during Holy Saturday Evening services in your respective parishes, after the reading of the Gospel during the Divine Liturgy.
The Encyclical of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros is to be read at the Agape Vespers on Sunday. You will find all documents embedded in this email below in both English and Greek. As a suggestion, you may also share these documents in your parish bulletins, and social media pages.
May I take this opportunity to wish you all Καλή Ἀνάσταση as we prepare to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Conveying to you the paternal blessings of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros, I remain,
Prayerfully Yours in the Risen Christ,
♱ Diokleias Nektarios
National Chancellor
