What a blessed Pentecost Sunday! ✨🕊️

At the ordination of a hierarch, the day mystically becomes Pentecost. This year, on the great Feast of Pentecost, we were especially honored to welcome Bishop Dionysios of Zenopolis as he celebrated his first Pentecost as a bishop with our parish family.

It was a joy and a blessing to worship together and share in this sacred occasion. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Deacon Paraskeva Hamalis and to everyone who joined us in prayer and worship on this beautiful feast day.

Πάντα άξιος+

Many Years to His Grace Bishop Dionysios, and may the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen his ministry.
