I was in Kananga, Congo, in the land where Saint Chrysostom Papasarantopoulos trod, for the translation of his sacred relics. 66 years after the commencement of his missionary work, 54 years after his repose, the children he loved continue to praise our Lord.
Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Congo. Let us build a sacred church in honor of the saint in every country where he served as a missionary!
The blessed Metropolitan Amphilochios Tsoukos dedicated his life to the Fiji Islands in the Pacific, reaching people’s hearts with humility, love, and sacrifice. He built churches, founded a monastery, raised orphans, and ordained priests, planting Orthodoxy where no one expected it.
The Orthodox Missionary Fraternity launches the Donor Portal: a personal page where every donor can track their donation history, specify their allocation, and manage their details. Another step towards transparency and trust.
The President of the Fraternity participated in the ceremony of the translation of relics and returned from Kananga, Congo, bearing an exceptional gift: a fragment of the sacred relic of Saint Chrysostom Papasarantopoulos, which he delivered to Metropolitan Philotheos of Thessaloniki, for the sanctification of the faithful of our city.
There are journeys that change the way you see the world. Fotis Legakis returned from Madagascar with something that cannot fit into any suitcase: the realization that a well, a notebook, a hug can mean everything to those who have nothing.
On the Sunday of Orthodoxy, Metropolitan Nikodimos of Nigeria made a pastoral visit to the Orthodox communities of Imo and Anambra states, with hundreds of faithful participating in the Divine Liturgy. Additionally, he visited the ecclesiastical Regina Memorial Hospital, whose building construction has been completed and is expected to serve thousands of residents in the area.
Metropolitan Gregory of Cameroon spoke to the Fraternity about his 21 years of missionary work in Africa: the wounds of colonialism that are still open, the advance of the ‘prosperity gospel,’ and the method of the Sermon on the Mount that he himself applies in the field.
