With the support of the late Archbishop Anastasios, but also with the assistance of the faithful and after many years of effort, it finally acquired a Bishopric, which was recently inaugurated by Metropolitan Nikolaos of Apollonia and Fieri.
He performed a blessing in the area of the new Episcopal Church, where faithful from the Metropolis attended and expressed their joy for the event.
He emphasized that the blessed Anastasios contributed greatly, supporting the construction of the Episcopal Church in many ways, but the support of the Orthodox is also noteworthy.
The start of its construction was greatly delayed, because there were bureaucratic obstacles to issuing a building permit, as well as financial problems.
Until now, some facilities of the church of saint george were used for administration and Catechesis.
Metropolitan Nikolaos Of Fieri lived in his house, in the Village of zoupan, four km outside Fieri.
There was enthusiasm and dedication to the cause and the end was happy. The energetic Metropolitan of Apollonia and Fieri, Nikolaos, is not bound by disease phobia and minor inconveniences and proceeded with determination until the end.
Such projects are necessary so that pastoral work can be coordinated and spread.
There may be obstacles and difficult circumstances. But faith tells us not to lose it. Not to lose faith. We are weak, God is Almighty. We are small, the Lord is great.
After all, the late Archbishop of Albania, Anastasios, relied on this concept and carried out a broad and extraordinary work.
So, then, our gaze is towards god. Towards The throne of his grace. And He will not delay, he will hasten to us.
