With a sense of spiritual joy and praise to the all-good God, the Holy Diocese of Majunga and North Madagascar announces once again the ordination to the priesthood of Deacon Alexandros Karachalios.

The ordination, originally scheduled for the previous Sunday, 23 August, but postponed due to illness, will take place tomorrow, Sunday 30 August 2026, at the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas in Majunga, with the blessing of His Divine Beatitude Pope and Patriarch Theodoros II of Alexandria and All Africa.

The new Priest, aged 51, comes from and lives in Agios Dimitrios, Athens; he is married and the father of one child.

The Holy Diocese prays that the new Priest may be granted the rich grace of the Holy Spirit and serve with faith, humility, self-denial and love our Holy Church and the missionary work of Orthodoxy in North Madagascar.
