Another Church of St. Paisios of Mt. Athos to be built in Greece

Chania (Khania: Crete, Greece), March 24, 2015

On March 22, 2015, after the Sunday evening service at the Church of St. Christopher (Agios Christoforos) in the town of Chania (Crete) His Eminence Metropolitan Damaskinos of Kydonia and Apokoronon addressed himself to its rector, Archpriest Basilios, and the congregation.

    

The hierarch announced that the diocese had made a decision to begin construction of a new Church in honor of the newly-canonized Venerable Paisios the Athonite, reports Agionoros.ru. It will be built on the parcel of land that was donated to the community of St. Christopher’s Church.

Fr. Basilios was very moved and gladly agreed to undertake the Metropolitan’s commission. Having received the hierarch’s blessing, Fr. Basilios delivered a short sermon to the faithful: “We are starting this work, not having a single euro at our disposal. But we believe the Grace of God and intercession of Venerable Paisios will help us complete this good undertaking with success”.

The parishioners expressed their joy at the news of construction of the new Church of Elder Paisios of Mt. Athos and applauded Metropolitan Damaskinos as he left.
