[01] Archbishop Ieronymos heads Sunday mass in Manhattan, N.Y.
NEW YORK (ANA-MPA - P. Panagiotou) Greece will find its way again,
Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Ieronymos said while delivering
a Sunday sermon to the Greek-American community at the Archdiocesan
Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Manhattan.
The head of Greece's Orthodox Church stressed that the country was going
through "much pain" but would keep its spirit strong and underlined the
need for unity. Referring to the Greek diaspora in America, he said it
was "a Greece outside of Greece, which has all the attributes of Greeks
throughout the ages."
After the sermon, Archbishop of America Demetrios presented Ieronymos
with a cheque for 100,000 dollars, as an initial contribution to be
spent on helping Greek children in need.
The joint service was attended by the Greek Ambassador to the United
States Christos Panagopoulos, Cyprus' permanent representative to
the United Nations, the consular authorities of Greece and Cyprus,
the directors of Greek services in the U.S. and several other clerics,
as well as representatives of the diaspora.
