To the Faithful of the Metropolis of Boston


Dear Friends,

With joy we extend an invitation to you to join us for our annual EFOM Missions Lecture at Hellenic College - Holy Cross at 7:00pm on Thursday, November 8th. The topic will be “MISSION TO GUATEMALA: Receiving the Mayan People into the Orthodox Church.”  Please see the attached flier with more detail. We have two exciting speakers – Fr. John Chakos and Fr. Andres Giron.

Fr. John Chakos is the former priest of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church in Pittsburgh, who retired after 31 years in order to go to Guatemala and help establish the first Orthodox Seminary in Latin America, as well as to work with Fr. Andres Giron, a Guatemalan priest who is leading a group of 100,000 Mayan People into the Orthodox Church.  

Fr. Andres Giron is a former UN Ambassador, Guatemalan Senator, and Presidential candidate, who had devoted his life to alleviating the sufferings of the poor and underprivileged, especially among the Mayan Indians. He is now an Orthodox priest who came under the Ecumenical Patriarchate in 2010, and is now spiritual leader this group of 100,000 Mayans who are interested in entering into canonical Orthodoxy.

Both will be speaking at 7:00pm on Thursday, November 8th at the Maliotis Center at HCHC.

With love in Christ,
+ Fr. Luke Veronis
