On the afternoon of Thursday, November 6th, 2025, the fourth consecutive meeting of Catechumens and Newly Illumined of the Holy Metropolis of Sweden took place in the welcoming premises of the St. George Cathedral of Stockholm (Birger Jarlsgatan 92, 114 20 Stockholm), with the participation of 50 young people in person and another 25 online.
Once again, Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden and All Scandinavia served as the speaker, addressing the participants in the English language, in order to accommodate the diverse group of Catechumens and newly baptized faithful who come from various countries and cultural backgrounds.
The topic of the presentation was the continuation of the lecture entitled: “The Missionary Work of the Church throughout the World.”
The Metropolitan presented the full content of his address, referring to the apostolic identity of the Orthodox Church, as well as the contemporary witness of the faith across all continents.
During the session, participants once again posed thoughtful and insightful questions, to which His Eminence offered well-founded and pastoral responses.
At the conclusion of the meeting, refreshments were offered in honor of all who were present, particularly the young people who serve the local Church faithfully and with dedication in various ministries.
The next meeting will take place on Thursday, November 20th, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., in the same location, and will inaugurate a new cycle of thematic presentations. (The entrance is from the church driveway.)
