Makarios celebrated his First Divine Liturgy as Archbishop of Australia, on Thursday, May 16, 2019, at the Katholikon of the Holy Monastery of St. George Epanosifis, the brotherhood in which Makarios belongs.
The Abbot of the Holy Monastery of St. George Epanosifis, Archim. Bartholomew, and the brotherhood of the Holy Monastery, welcomed the new Archbishop with a great deal of joy and warmth.
They also wished him both for his election as a new Archbishop of Australia and for the anniversary of his ordination to a Bishop, which was held four years ago at the church of Saint Minas in Heraklion, Crete.
