On Friday, May 17, renowned Greek singer Dimitris Basis visited the headquarters of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia in Sydney. Accompanied by Nia Karteri, President of the Greek Festival of Sydney, Mr. Basis met with Archbishop Makarios of Australia for a friendly and cordial discussion.
In Australia for a series of scheduled concerts, the popular singer sought and received the blessing of the Archbishop. Archbishop Makarios congratulated Basis for his strong ties with the Greek Diaspora and expressed his paternal satisfaction with the singer’s piety and his thoughtful visit to the local Church and its Shepherd for spiritual strength.
During the meeting, the Archbishop also informed Dimitris Basis about the centenary celebrations of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia, which will culminate in October with the Apostolic Visit of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
