The first Church built worldwide in honor of Saint Chrysostomos Papasarantopoulos, funded by the Fraternity, has opened its doors. Bishop Prodromos recounts the unique moments.

A container of humanitarian aid has arrived in Southern Madagascar, carrying church supplies, medical equipment, and fourteen tons of food. Particularly noteworthy are over two hundred seats for the first church in the world dedicated to Saint Chrysostom Papasarantopoulos!

In Southern Madagascar, education is not a given. It is not free. It is a difficult path, full of obstacles, which for most children abruptly ends after primary school. That is why the vision for creating a boarding school was born: a vibrant space of hope for the children of the most remote villages.

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.

A visit that brought a breath of hope to arid Toliara. The Patriarch of Alexandria inaugurated the “Twins of Love” Orphanage, two schools for 1,400 students, performed one hundred baptisms, and laid the cornerstone of the first Church of Saint Chrysostomos Papasarantopoulos!

The first Church dedicated to the pioneering missionary becomes a reality in Southern Madagascar

The Metropolis of Northern Madagascar continues its work with an orphanage for 160 girls, a nursing home, daily breakfast for children, new ordinations of clergy, and the establishment of new parishes that spread the Orthodox faith.

Under the care of Bishop Prodromos, the foundation stone was laid for the construction of a new holy church, funded by a donation from the bequest of Afroditi Porligki, a late member of the Orthodox Missionary Fraternity.

In southern Madagascar, ten diocesan schools serve thousands of children with free education and daily milk and biscuits, spreading hope and Christian love amid poverty.

A miracle took place in Southern Madagascar. With the help of the Orthodox Missionary Fraternity, the community of Ampataka finally gained access to clean water!

Love is the hand that lifts the fallen, the bread that is shared, the look that comforts, the tear that becomes a prayer.
