On the evening of Friday, September 27, 2024, following the Symposium and the farewell dinner, we escorted with feelings of infinite gratitude and heartfelt thanks to His Eminence Metropolitan Nikolaos of Messogaia and Lavreotiki and his escorts to the airport for their return to Greece.

We thank God for deeming us worthy of this blessing, and at the same time we thank His All Holiness our Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, because due to the visit of His Eminence Metropolitan Nicholaos to Korea, as His representative during the celebrations of the 100th Anniversary of the NCCK, we were given the excellent opportunity to have His Eminence present at various other events of our Church in Korea. With his presence and knowledge, he has strengthened us in the missionary work, which by God’s grace, is being carried out in the Orthodox Metropolis of Korea under the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
