Southern Madagascar: Saint Chrysostom the Missionary got his own churchtranslated

August 11, 2026 · 1 min read

Today is a special day as, with the blessing of the Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and all Africa, Mr. Theodore II, the Bishop of Toliaras and South Madagascar, Mr. Prodromos, celebrated the opening of the new church dedicated to Saint Chrysostomos the Missionary (Papasarandopoulos) as well as the first Divine Liturgy.  "On the day that Saint Chrysostom the Missionary acquired, here in Southern Madagascar, a Church dedicated to his name. And in the emotion of that moment I thought of something very simple. When man opens a door for God, God opens a way to Heaven. So let this Church become a small light in the great land of Africa", wrote, among other things, in his poster the Theophilast Mr. Forerunner.
