His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros Great Vespers & Bestowal of Alumni Crosses

This post was originally published on this site

This evening we have gathered to recognize our Alumni, with the bestowal of special crosses for the occasion. I would note that this Vespers coincides with the feast of the Holy Hieromartyr Patrick, Bishop of Prousa. This was the See to which I was elected many years ago, and in which I labored on behalf of the small but vibrant Greek Orthodox Community there, before coming to America as your Archbishop.
