ΑΞΙΟΣ! ΑΞΙΟΣ! ΑΞΙΟΣ!
The Very Reverend and Reverend Clergy of the Sacred Metropolis of New Jersey,
The Members of the Metropolis of New Jersey Council,
The Members of the Metropolis of New Jersey Philoptochos Society,
and All the Faithful of the Sacred Metropolis of New Jersey
extend our most heartfelt congratulations to His Eminence, Archbishop-Elect Apostolos of Canada, upon his election and elevation by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
With one voice, we proclaim:
ΑΞΙΟΣ! ΑΞΙΟΣ! ΑΞΙΟΣ!
We are deeply grateful that, in elevating him to this distinguished ministry, our Mother Church has recognized the tireless dedication, pastoral care, and faithful service of this devoted Hierarch. Over the past three years, we have been blessed to know His Eminence as a true Spiritual Father and Chief Shepherd of our Sacred Metropolis, whose wisdom, compassion, and steadfast leadership have enriched the lives of our clergy and faithful alike.
While this is a bittersweet moment for the Sacred Metropolis of New Jersey, we offer His Eminence our heartfelt prayers and best wishes as he begins this new chapter of his hierarchical ministry. May our Lord continue to strengthen him with abundant wisdom, unwavering faith, fatherly love, and every spiritual gift as he shepherds the faithful of the Holy Archdiocese of Canada.
Once again, we joyfully proclaim:
ΑΞΙΟΣ! ΑΞΙΟΣ! ΑΞΙΟΣ!
