On Wednesday, May 21st, the feast of Sts. Constantine and Helen, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew received His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America in an audience with the Holy Cross senior students on the St. Helen’s Pilgrimage led by V. Rev. Archimandrite Bartholomew Mercado, a member of the Holy Cross faculty. Archbishop Elpidophoros offered remarks to His All-Holiness in which he expressed the dedication and commitment of our Sacred Archdiocese and our beloved School to the self-sacrificial ministry of His All-Holiness and the Mother Church of Constantinople. He then proceeded to introduce the students of the St. Helen’s Pilgrimage which included a formal address to His All-Holiness by Holy Cross senior George Miller. In his remarks, Mr. Miller thanked His All-Holiness for his sterling example of pastoral leadership, moral resolve, and fatherly love. He continued by expressing the collective sentiments that the example of His All-Holiness is a motivation for their own ministries in the future. He also expressed thanks to Archbishop Elpidophoros for his love, support, and care for the students and for HCHC as a whole. In response, His All-Holiness underscored the dynamic and successful ministry of Archbishop Elpidophoros which, as he noted, has also been shown through the development of the Theological School and he congratulated the students as they prepare for their respective ministries. The students then presented a gift to His All-Holiness, an engolpion of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, with the Holy Cross Chapel depicted in the background. (fb)
