To the entire Greek Orthodox Community of Columbus, Ohio

The festivities of the 75th Anniversary of your community have been an excellent opportunity for all of us to recognize and appreciate the marvelous accomplishments of our forefathers. Katherine and I consider ourselves fortunate that during the years of our ministry in Columbus we had the honor and privilege of working hand in hand with the then living pioneers of your church.

However, this year's celebration is also a tribute to you, the heirs of your immigrant parents, who had the vision and courage to preserve and perpetuate what you have inheri-ted by transplanting in this part of the world an edifice of Greek Orthodox architecture and beauty where all the elements of the Mystic Church of the East will be incorporated together with unique modern educational and cultural facilities. By doing this you have succeeded in maintaining a serene continuity of the glorious past of our Church with the present and the future.

I congratulate you and pray that you be fortified with wisdom, faith and love so that all soon thank and glorify God for the completion of this great task that you have
undertaken.

 

With paternal love,

Fr. Paul C. Economides
