Archdiocesan Christmas Events

Posted on by

Dearly beloved in the Lord,

I would like to share with you the upcoming  Archdiocesan events scheduled to take place during the Christmas Season, and to encourage you to promote these wonderful initiatives in your parishes.  Those able to travel, please make every effort to attend with members of your congregation.  Registration is not necessary.

Our festal gatherings are wonderful opportunities for us to exchange greetings, as well as to request in person the paternal blessings and prayers of our archpastor, His Eminence Archbishop Nikitas of Thyateira and Great Britain, and by doing so, we  demonstrate genuinely the ecclesiastical ethos of the Orthodox.  

London-area clergy are strongly encouraged to attend both events with members of their committees and congregations

1)       Archdiocesan Christmas Concert sponsored by Christos Lazari Foundation on 19th December 2024, at the Cathedral of the Divine Wisdom.

2)       Archdiocesan Christmas Open House, 22nd December 2024, at the newly renovated Thyateira House.

I have attached the two formal flyers for your further information and so that you may promote and post these on your community’s bulletin boards and social media.

Looking forward to meeting you in the weeks to come, I remain with many thanks and my heartfelt prayers for a blessed and spiritually uplifting Christmas Fast.

Fraternally yours,

+Archim. Nephon Tsimalis

Youth Lenten Retreat

Posted on by

I am writing to kindly remind you of our upcoming COTY Lenten Retreat in two weeks’ time, on Saturday, 13 April 2024, at St. Mary’s Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Camberwell. This retreat is a wonderful opportunity for all young people aged 16-35 to deepen their faith, learn about Orthodoxy, and connect with like-minded individuals.

We’re excited to have His Eminence Archbishop Nikitas as our main speaker, followed by the Very Revd Archimandrite Peter, Abbot of the Holy Stavropegic Monastery of St John the Baptist, as well as the Revd Œconomos Kristian Akselberg.

We have also added 2 liturgical tradition workshops to the program, with a ‘craft your own prayer rope’ session, and a presentation on the history of illustrated manuscripts in the British Isles.

The day will start with a celebration of the Divine Liturgy in English at 9:30 am, followed by breakfast, insightful talks, and lunch—all provided courtesy of a COTY subsidy.

We believe this event is a fantastic way for our youth to engage with their faith during Lent, and we still have spaces available for attendees. On behalf of the COTY trustees, we would be very grateful if you could help us by sharing our event poster and the registration link on your community’s Facebook page and with the young members of your community:

Registration Link: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/coty/t-gagxzoy

I have also attached a flier advertising the retreat to this e-mail — it would be greatly appreciated if you could print some copies and display them at their parishes, and also share the poster on social media.

Wishing you a blessed and spiritually refreshing Lenten season.

Prayerfully yours,
