A Historic Visit

With profound joy and humility, our parish of Saint George Tropeoforos in Midtown Manhattan was blessed to welcome His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America on Wednesday, September 24. This historic apostolic visit filled our church with light, love, and renewal.

We give thanks to God for this unforgettable day and for the living presence of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in our midst. May the flame of faith continue to burn brightly in our parish and in all the world.

With immense gratitude, we thank all who gave, served, and sacrificed to make this blessed event possible. Like Nehemiah and Ezra, your hands and hearts have rebuilt both the walls and the spirit of our parish. Each offering of time, talent, and treasure has become part of a greater flame. Through your devotion, Saint George Tropeoforos shines as a humble yet radiant vineyard of the Lord, alive with apostolic light and renewed with divine breath.
