On August 21, 2026, our parish was filled with great joy as we welcomed our dear brother in Christ, Victor Panagiotis, into the Holy Orthodox Church through the Mystery of Baptism.

Born anew of water and the Spirit, illumined by divine grace, and clothed in Christ, he was united to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Having received the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit and partaken of the precious and life-giving Mysteries of Christ, he now enters the sacred arena of the Christian life—the blessed struggle of faith, repentance, and spiritual warfare.

May the grace bestowed upon him in the baptismal waters remain radiant and undefiled. May it transfigure his kind soul, strengthen him in every good work, and guide him along the narrow path that leads to holiness and theosis.

We pray that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will preserve His newly illumined servant in the true Faith and grant him many blessed years of faithful service, so that together we may glorify and worship the one true God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Many years, dear Victor Panagiotis! Welcome home to the Ark of Salvation!
