A new beginning for the Parish of Saint Charalambos in Ambanja!
With special joy we announce that today the Parish of Saint Charalambos in Ambanja opened its doors in its new premises and is now operating normally, in a better, more beautiful and more accessible building, so as to be closer to the people and their needs.
To serve the parish, Father Paisios will be close to the faithful; we ordained him a few months ago precisely for this purpose: to contribute substantially to the pastoral work and to serve the needs of our Holy Metropolis.
At the same time, we made sure there is living space for the priest, and we also bought a bicycle so that he can move more easily and quickly for his liturgical and pastoral duties, and be close to the people who need his presence and support.
Every such step is another effort to make our Church more accessible, more alive and closer to people. We do not stop at words, but move on to actions that support our parishes and strengthen the presence of the Church in local communities.
With the patriarchal blessings of His Divine Beatitude Pope and Patriarch Theodoros II of Alexandria and All Africa, we pray wholeheartedly that Saint Charalambos may protect the parish, Father Paisios and all the faithful. May God bless every effort made for the progress of our Church and the relief of our fellow human beings.
With faith, love and works of real giving, with God’s help we continue the spiritual and social ministry of our Diocese!
