+ Bishop Gerasimos of Abydos & Pittsburgh (30 years) Memorial

Sun 10:45 am - 11:00 am

Reverend Fathers, esteemed Metropolis and Parish Council members, and beloved faithful of the Holy and God-Protected Metropolis of Pittsburgh,

Thursday, June 12, 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the falling asleep of His Grace Bishop Gerasimos of Abydos of thrice-blessed memory. A theologian and scholar who exuded Christ's love and mercy, Bishop Gerasimos is remembered by many as a Geronta, teacher, and mentor to the students who encountered him on the Hellenic College & Holy Cross campus in Brookline over the last 18 years of his life.

The Orthodox of Pittsburgh and this tri-state area remember as fondly his impactful decade as the Bishop of the 6th Archdiocesan District, which became this sacred Metropolis. His time was marked by great growth in our parishes, the flowering of spiritual life, numerous ordinations and consecrations, and by his personal and charismatic ministry to the people. His impact was felt by generations, and many today still lovingly remember their prayerful encounters with him.

To mark the occasion with appropriate solemnity considering his impact on this sacred Metropolis, I am directing all parishes to celebrate a Memorial with Kolyva in his memory on Sunday, June 15, 2025 (the Feast of All Saints, and Father's Day on the secular calendar), which this year is the closest Sunday to the date of his repose. May he continue to intercede on behalf of his flock before the Altar of the Lord!

With Archpastoral blessings and love in the Risen and Ascended Lord,

+SAVAS
Metropolitan of Pittsburgh

Father in Christ
