Metropolitan Nikitas

Posted by on 14 November 2011 | 0 Comments

On Sunday, our team members, Christiana Thanos and Stefanos Roulakis, joined His Eminence, Metropolitan Nikitas for brunch to discuss the future of the orphanage and Lucky Girls. Metropolitan Nikitas once oversaw all missions and churches in Southeast Asia, including the orphanage. The girls at the orphanage miss him dearly, and they fondly remember him teaching them the hokey pokey! His Eminence now directs the Patriarch Athenagora Orthodox Institute in Berkeley, California. Our director, Christiana Thanos originally learned about the work in India through Metropolitan Nikitas when he came to speak at St. Sophia Cathedral in 2004. Since then, they have been sharing ideas and efforts on how to best help the orphanage. In our meeting, His Eminence expressed his interest in continuing to support Lucky Girls' endeavors to help the orphanage. We are so grateful for his support!
