In the Hall of the Apostolic Ministry, in front of the Metropolitan Church of Agios Nikolaos Pyrgos, on Saturday, October 10, 2026, the General Priestly Assembly of the vicars of the Holy Metropolis of Ilia and Oleni took place. At the beginning of the assembly, His Eminence Metropolitan Mr. Athanasios warmly welcomed the priests of our Holy Metropolis, wishing them a creative and fruitful year, while he then provided information on current administrative issues.

"The new data on the prevention and treatment of dementia" In the second part of the meeting, a particularly interesting and timely speech was given by Mrs. Magdaleni Tsolaki, Theologian, Psychiatrist and Neurologist, on the topic: "The new data for the prevention and treatment of dementia".

The speech focused on Alzheimer's disease and dementia, underlining the great importance of prevention, early diagnosis and proper patient care. As the speaker pointed out, given that the state has not yet reduced dementia to an absolute public health priority, the active participation of the Church, the family, and local support structures becomes crucial.
