To dedicate the day in which we honor our fathers in the flesh and to our priests, the spiritual fathers of our Church who followed Christ's exhortation to become fishers of men and fill the nets with souls destined for eternal life, Archbishop Elpidophoros invites the faithful of the Archdiocese of America with a circular.
Alongside, invites all communities to contribute with all their strength to the strengthening of the pension fund of the clergy, whose sustainability the Archdiocese managed to ensure in cooperation with the Association of Clergy.
"Our priests", notes, “they deserve to be secured after they retire, especially after so many years of service, and all together we must strengthen them to cope with both their ministry and the living needs of their priestly families".
