Visit of the Metropolitan of Kilkisios to the Holy Church of the Annunciation in Oslotranslated

The Most Reverend Metropolitan of Polyanis and Kilkisios, Mr. Bartholomeos, with his entourage, visited on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, following the blessing of the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Sweden and all Scandinavia, Mr. Cleopas, the Parish of the Holy Church of the Annunciation of the Theotokos in Oslo, Norway. His Holiness was welcomed to the Holy Church by the active vicar of the Parish, Fr. Georgios Kanakaris, flanked by the members of the Ecclesiastical Committee. This was followed by a tour of the Holy Church, as well as the Spiritual Center of the Parish, which is housed on the lower floor of the church and is currently being renovated.

During the visit, reference was made to the remarkable growth of the parish community, whose members have multiplied over the last decade, which has substantially contributed to the strengthening and expansion of the charitable, spiritual and social work of the Parish. This dynamic course is connected, among other things, to the diverse missionary work that is carried out in the wider region of Scandinavia under the pastoral guidance of His Eminence Metropolitan Mr. Cleopas.
