The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain announced with sorrow that the late Protopresbyter Andreas Hadjisavvis fell asleep in the Lord.
For forty years, Fr. Andreas self-sacrificially served his fellows, being incessantly on the side of all those who needed the help and support of a priest in every circumstance of their lives.
Thousands of Orthodox faithful in North London were baptized, married, buried, received the Holy Communion from his hands.
His family, his wife Maria, his four children, his grandchildren have missed him all these years of his untiring ministry.
As the announcement stated, still, they may boast in the Lord that the husband, father, and grandfather, Fr. Andreas, has become the father and brother of so many people who today pray with them for the rest of his soul.
The Archdiocese mentioned that another announcement would follow regarding the details of his funeral service.
