On Monday, February 12, 2024, at the invitation of Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Patras, Elder Nektarios Moulatsiotis, accompanied by fathers from the Monastery of Trikorfos in Fokida, graced the Dinner of Love organized to support the missionary endeavors of the Holy Metropolis of Kinshasa in the Congo.
The gathering was attended by Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Patras, Metropolitan Theodosios of Kinshasa, clergy from the Holy Metropolis of Patras, and local dignitaries. During the dinner, Metropolitan Theodosios of Kinshasa shared the daily challenges encountered in their mission, along with the significant efforts undertaken by the Holy Metropolis of Kinshasa. These efforts encompass not only spiritual guidance and rebirth of the region but also humanitarian aid for the local people. He also shed light on the obstacles posed by other religious denominations, particularly the recent surge in Islamic influence aimed at converting the inhabitants.
In support of these crucial missionary endeavors in Africa, the Panhellenic Association of Orthodox Mission “Holy Chrysostom,” under the auspices of Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Patras, organized the Dinner of Love. The event was graced by the presence of the Dance Department of the Youth Group of Saint Irini Riganokampos of Patras, showcasing traditional Macedonian dances.
