Timothy of Thessalio for the new school year: "The imprint of contribution and progress"translated

On the occasion of the start of the new school year 2026-2027, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Thessaliotidos and Phanariofersalon Mr. Timotheus addresses a message to students, teachers and parents, emphasizing the importance of education, contribution and progress. The Metropolitan characterizes the new school year as "something very important and beautiful, as well as challenging for life" and wishes it to be "a new stage in everyone's life". At the same time, he prays for health and strength for the children "for study and progress", but also for the teachers, so that they can offer "a deposit of soul and knowledge".

He also makes a special mention of parents, wishing them to have the strength for "support, love and affection", while he calls on everyone to strive "for an excellent life with fruition", so that the value of every human being is highlighted.

His Eminence's central message is the value of example, since, as he points out, the true value of life is "the imprint of contribution and progress", which one should not deprive oneself "but especially our children".

The Metropolitan concludes his message with the wish "May our Lord enlighten the life and thought of everyone"...
