The Cultural and Social Ministry Foundation of Kallimasia on the Greek island of Chios will host commemorative events on Sunday, September 8, 2024, to honor the late Ecumenical Patriarchs Ioakeim II and Ioakeim IV. These events will take place in Kallimasia, their birthplace, at the Holy Parish Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.
The day’s activities will commence with Orthros and the Divine Liturgy, presided over by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. Following the Divine Liturgy, a Patriarchal Memorial service will be held to honor the memory of the late Patriarchs. The commemorations will conclude with a Patriarchal Trisagion at the burial site of Ecumenical Patriarch Ioakeim IV.
These events are a significant tribute to the two prominent figures of Orthodoxy and provide an opportunity for the local community to express its respect and gratitude for their contributions to the Church and society.
