- The past seven months have been very fruitful, and I celebrate the work of the various programs and initiatives of my ministry. The people of Saint Nectarios support me and the ministry of the deaconess, and I have faced no challenge in my ministry.
- The Sunday School children and I created a garden that provides vegetables for the Feeding Programme, which feeds the needy children at my parish. The children are very happy to have food every Sunday. We hold catechism classes with the children every Sunday after the Divine Liturgy and before receiving food.
- I oversee the women’s programmes and serve as their advisor when help is needed. We do pastoral visits with the women. We visit each other’s homes for prayers, mostly when we notice that our fellow member is absent at church.
- With the blessings of His Eminence Metropolitan Serafim Kykotis, I appear at different programmes on his behalf. On the 10th of December, 2025, we welcomed visitors from the World Council of Churches, and I presented a welcome speech on behalf of H. E Archbishop Serafim Kykotis. (FULL REMARKS HERE)

“I am serving well at church, with God’s help. I am receiving full support and respect from the congregants of Saint Nektarios. The Archbishop instructed me to do some activities with the youth, Sunday school children, and the women in the service of Saint Phoebe (on her feast day on 3 September). With God’s help, I have started preparing some activities with the youth and the Sunday School children.”
