On July 19, 2026, Sunday on which our Church commemorated the holy and God-fearing Fathers of the 4th Ecumenical Synod, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Ilio, Acharna and Petropolis, Mr. Athenagoras, officiated at Orthros and celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Holy Monastery of Neo Studi in Avlona, assisted by Archim. Irenaios Bousdekis, Abbot of the Holy Monastery, Archim. Ioannis Rapti, General Hierarchal Commissioner of the Holy Metropolis, Archim. Dositheo, brother of the Holy Monastery and its deacon Fr. Angelos Michalopoulos. On the occasion of the verse from the passage of the Holy Gospel: "Ye are the light of the world", His Holiness spoke briefly about the way in which the members of the Church - clergy and laity - must present the light-teaching of Christ to the world, so that the talent of each one of us is not displayed, but with our teaching and example to let space for the "True Light", Christ, to comfort, heal and save the members of our Church, but also the people around us.
After the distribution of the anti-gift, it was offered to the outer vestry of the Holy Monastery by the small monks...
