July 21, 2026 · 1 min read

Orthodox priests from the Metropolis of the Two Americas served on Monday at the church in the Mănăștur neighborhood of Cluj-Napoca. Among them were also South American clerics.

"We did not come to teach you anything, but we came to learn from you the secrets of the right faith and living life in Christ", said, in the teaching word, father Alex Aedo Vilugron, archpope of Latin America within the Romanian Orthodox Metropolis of the Two Americas.

Father Alex Aedo Vilugron has a PhD in philosophy from the University of Oxford and currently pastors the Conception Parish in Chile – home to the southernmost Orthodox church in the world.

The council of 12 priests and deacons also included: father Daniel Ene, the administrative vicar of the Archdiocese of North America; Father Vasile Mureșan from the Metropolitan Cathedral "Saints Constantine and Helena" in Chicago, USA; Father Antonio Garcia of the Church of Saints Constantine and Helena in Caracas, Venezuela; Father Esteban Diaz Nino from the Church of "Saint John the Valahul Martyr" in Barranquilla, Colombia; Father Rafael Padilla from the "St. Joseph de la Partos" Church in Quito,...

Pápež Alex Aedo Vilugron z Chile ma zaujal – doktorát z Oxfordu a pritom slúži v najjužnejšej pravoslavnej farnosti na svete. To je zaujímavé, ako sa viera šíri aj tam dole. Rado by som vedela, ako sa im darí s miestnymi ľuďmi v tej Parohii Conception.

Pápež Alex Aedo Vilugron ma tie zaujal, ten doktorát z Oxfordu a potom taká malá farnosť až dole v Chile. Zaujímalo by ma, či tam majú viac miestnych ľudí z radov bývalých katolíkov, alebo skôr prisťahovalcov z východnej Európy. Určite by som sa rada pozrela na fotky z tej ich Conception, ak nejaké nájdem.
