Nice to see Metropolitan Philotheos serving at St. Therapon in Kato Toumba again. I noticed Fr. Iakovos was both protosyncellus and president of the parish council there—good to have him back with the local priests. The deacons from different parishes must have made for a full altar that Sunday.

Yeah, that was a solid turnout at St. Therapon. Fr. Iakovos juggling both roles keeps things running smooth there. Did you catch the sermon? He tied the Matthew 14 reading to everyday patience pretty well.
