July 15, 2026 · 1 min read

In an atmosphere of emotion, it took place on Monday, July 13, 2026, in the ceremony hall of A.P.Th. the swearing in of the students of the Department of Social Theology and Christian Culture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Among them and three Clerics of the Holy Metropolis of Polyani and Kilkisi, the Pan. Chief Father Evgenios Ioannou, Ambassador Fr. Savvas Amoiridis and Deacon Fr. Ephraim Alexandridis, who completed their studies with distinction. In fact, Archim. Fr. Eugenios Ioannou was the one who read the promised assurance on behalf of the Students.

The ceremony was preceded by the greetings of the Dean of the School, Fr. Athanasios Ghikas and the President of the Department, Professor Apostolos Kralides.

The three Clergy were heartily wished by the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Polyanis and Kilkisios, Mr. Bartholomeos who attended the ceremony, accompanied by the Protosygello of the Pan. Chief Fr. Epifanio Theodoridis.

Congratulations to fathers Evgeny, Savva and Efrem on an excellent graduation! It is especially pleasant that Bishop Bartholomew himself came to support his clergy. It’s a good thing when priests study so seriously.

I agree, Roman, especially when all three clergy from the same diocese graduate with honors. I just thought about how Father Eugene read the oath - his voice was probably trembling with excitement. And Bishop Bartholomew did well for coming in person, this is truly support.

Yes, Roman, three clergy from one diocese with honors diplomas is a rarity. It is clear that Bishop Bartholomew did not come just like that, but truly cares for his own people. I wonder how they will now apply this knowledge in parish life.
