On the afternoon of Tuesday, September 8, the Pastor, Metropolitan of Thessaloniki, Mr. Philotheos, went to the facilities of the International Exhibition of Thessaloniki, in order to celebrate the consecration of the exhibition space of the Dental Association of Thessaloniki, inside pavilion 15. Our Bishop was welcomed by the President of the Thessaloniki Dental Association, Mr. Vaios Kontopoulos, and the members of the Board of Directors.

Fr. Antonios Patrikiou, cleric of our Diocese and dentist, also took part in the consecration that took place.

Representatives of the Greek Parliament, the Local Government and our city's agencies, as well as members of the Dental Association of Thessaloniki and other Associations of the territory, attended the consecration Mass.

After the dismissal, the Pastor wished the President and the members of the Board of Directors, as well as all the dentists of our country, health, strength and every success in the great work they are doing.

I'm glad that Father Antonios Patrikiou was there too - a priest who is also a dentist, it's a nice combination. May God give health and success to all dentists, especially those of Thessaloniki. It is wonderful that Bishop Filotei blessed them personally.

I am glad that Fr. Antonios Patrikiou was there, as a clergyman and a dentist together – it shows how close the Church is to people's daily work. Despotis Philotheos did well to personally go to booth 15. May all dentists have strength, their work is important.
