My Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Χριστός Ἀνέστη! Christ is Risen!

What a joy it has been to celebrate the glorious feast of Pascha with all of you! From the moment the midnight candles were lit to the triumphant chants of “Χριστός Ἀνέστη,” our hearts were filled with the radiance of Christ’s resurrection. Your presence, your prayers, and your love have made this week truly special for me as your priest and for our entire community.

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for joining us in the beautiful services, for embracing one another in fellowship, and for sharing in the joy of the resurrection. Your dedication to our Cathedral family and your commitment to our faith inspire me each and every day.

As we bask in the light of Christ’s resurrection, let us carry this joy with us into the world, spreading love, hope, and compassion wherever we go. And as I prepare to embark tonight on the 8th-grade trip to Greece with the A. Fantis students and parents for the next week, I am filled with gratitude for your continued support and prayers.

While I will miss being physically present with you, know that I carry each and every one of you in my heart. Please keep our group in your prayers as we journey to the land of our ancestors, seeking to deepen our connection to our faith and heritage.

May the light of Christ’s resurrection continue to shine brightly in our lives, illuminating our path with hope and love.

With love and blessings,
