“With the help of God and the support of pious Christians, a mass Baptism of newly-enlightened people took place today in our missionary parish of St. Nektarios in Harare by our local priest Fr. Augustine with the help of our catechists and parishioners, who help even the most destitute and orphaned children,” Metropolitan Seraphim of Zimbabwe reports on his Facebook page.

Godparents for the newly-illumined children came from Cyprus, Corfu, and London, writes Met. Seraphim.

“Many years to the newly-illumined Loxantrou, Myrianthi, Athanasia and Melani and the newly-illumined Dimitrakis and Loukas. We thank their sponsors from Cyprus, Corfu and London. May God give you all good things and bless your families,” His Eminence writes.
