The Hierarchical Head of Stavrodromi, Metropolitan Andreas of Saranta Ekklisies, Bishop Benjamin of Tralleis, the clergy serving in the churches of our Community, and the entire Ecclesiastical Committee express through this message their deepest filial gratitude and respectful thanks to His All-Holiness, our Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople, for the honor bestowed through his venerable hands in awarding the title of Archon Laosynaktis of the Great Church of Christ to the worthy and capable President of our Community, Mr. Georgios Papaliaris.

This honorary distinction stands as recognition of his tireless efforts, his continuous and dedicated struggle, and his selfless service to the Church, our historic Community, and the Greek Orthodox community. His multifaceted activity, devotion to the ideals of Orthodoxy, and active care for the preservation and promotion of our traditions and institutions constitute a shining example worthy of emulation.

Together with our heartfelt congratulations and warm wishes, we pray that the Almighty God grants the new Archon health, strength, and longevity so that he may continue his God-pleasing and fruitful work for the benefit of the Holy Great Church of Christ and the devout Greek Orthodox community.

As a sign of joy and satisfaction, the Ecclesiastical Committee has decided to offer a luncheon on Monday, April 27, 2026, at the Holy Trinity Community Meal Program.
