The Holy Diocese of Belgium, in Brussels, honored the Synaxis of Saints Joachim and Anne, on which Bishop Joachim of Apollonia celebrates his name day.
On the morning of September 9, 2021, Bishop Joachim of Apollonia presided over the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy at the Holy Temple of Saint Marina in Brussels.
During the dismissal of the Divine Liturgy, Bishop Joachim thanked Metropolitan Athenagoras of Belgium, the clergymen, the hierarchical head of the Parish for his cordial hospitality, the employees in the central administration of the Metropolis, and the other attendees for the honor of their presence, which is primarily attributed to the Holy Parents of the Most Holy Theotokos, and wished their example to be a model of life and progress of every Christian.
