In addition, they will be tasked with dealing with day-to-day issues that arise, in conjunction with the Chancellor of the Archdiocese, the Rev. Protopresbyter Fr. Andreas Vithoulkas, and the Archbishop; except in the case of Bishop Apostolos of Medeia who will be reporting directly to the Archbishop.

Archbishop Elpidophoros welcomed everyone to his office yesterday, Thursday, February 6, 2020, and officially announced to them their appointments. He wished them much success in their endeavor and encouraged them to serve with sacrificial love the faithful Orthodox Christians, the Parish Councils and the Reverend Clergy. The appointed vicars thanked Archbishop Elpidophoros for their appointment and the honor bestowed upon them and they promised they will fervently work with all their energies in their new responsibilities assigned to them.
