His Grace attended the Holy and Divine Liturgy. Following the Holy Liturgy, His Grace officiated the Mystery of Holy Unction, assisted by the attached priest, Rev. Fr. Gheorghe Cristian Lutas.

He conveyed the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Nathaniel and offered words of encouragement to the parish community and its faithful, urging them to remain steadfast in the Orthodox faith and united in the life and mission of the Church.
