Bythe grace of God and the blessings of His Beatitude Pope and Patriarch Theodore II of Alexandria and All Africa, we continue to serve the great work of our Church, which is mission to the nations. During the period of the Great Lent we tried through the devotional life and the continuous visits and speeches in villages and in the capital to explain the meaning of this period and the benefit that every believer can receive from the opportunity of spiritual struggles.
- SEMINAR FOR ALL PRIESTS
During the first week of Lent all the Priests participated in a Worship and Liturgical seminar at the Cathedral in Accra, where they had the opportunity to get to know more and better the liturgical life of our Orthodox Church with daily Holy Sequences and topical teaching.
- VISIT TO SIERRA LEONE
At the same time, towards the end of February, we visited the country of Sierra Leone to see the work carried out there by the missionary Fr.Themistocles Adamopoulos and to convey the Patriarchal and Patriarchal blessings of His Beatitude our Patriarch in view of the Great Lent and Easter.
- FOUNDATION STONE OF NEW CHURCH
On 25 March we celebrated at the solemnized Holy Church of the Annunciation in the village of Komoa Fomena in central Ghana. After the Divine Liturgy we all headed to the nearby forest, where the Pilgrimage of Archangel Raphael is located and laid the foundation stone of a new Church of Saints Raphael, Nicholas and Irene, donated by an anonymous lady from northern Greece.
- ORDINATION OF AN ELDER IN ACCRA
On Sunday, March 28, Palm Sunday, during the Divine Liturgy at the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Lord in the capital of Ghana, Accra, we celebrated the ordination of Deacon Fr.
