The ordination marks an important milestone not only in the life of Deacon Parthenios and his family but also in the life of the Metropolis, which continues to witness growth in clergy formation and pastoral ministry. Having faithfully prepared for this calling through theological formation and spiritual preparation, Deacon Parthenios now enters a new stage of service to Christ and His Holy Church. The faithful joined in prayer, asking God to grant the newly ordained deacon wisdom, humility, faithfulness, and strength as he undertakes the responsibilities entrusted to him. His ministry will include assisting in the liturgical life of the Church, supporting pastoral work, and participating in the mission of proclaiming the Gospel. The Metropolis extends its heartfelt congratulations to Deacon Parthenios, his wife Eleni, their children, family members, and all who have supported him throughout his journey toward ordained ministry. May the Lord bless his service, strengthen him in every good work, and grant him many fruitful years in the vineyard of Christ.
