“The late Hierarch Ieremias served the Holy Metropolis of France in various capacities, dedicating himself to the ministry of the Church, God, and the people. He was a teacher of Truth and Love, a minister of the Mysteries of God, and a spiritual father to all, whom he surrounded with boundless affection, so that they saw him as a caring father, always willing to listen, respond, and support them.”
The above is mentioned, among other things, in the announcement of the Holy Metropolis of France regarding the passing of the late Metropolitan of Ancyra, Ieremias.
The announcement also states that today, Sunday, June 22, a Trisagion service will be held for the repose of his soul at the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Paris, as well as in all the churches of the Holy Metropolis of France.
