Dear Brother Clergy,

I pray you are in good health and your families are well. Please click here and send me a brief message whether you were able to schedule a vacation this summer or if you plan to take time in August or September. If not, please let me know that as well. I am concerned that some of our clergy are hesitant to use time they have earned and I'd like to follow-up and help you with your Parish Councils if that is the case. Faithfully yours, +Fr. George

Knowing that no up-to-date list of our Orthodox families exists, His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios is inaugurating the first-ever Metropolis of Atlanta census. This undertaking will enhance His efforts to communicate with our Metropolis family.

1. Each parish is asked to submit an Excel spreadsheet with the family information as follows: head of household, spouse, children's names under 18 years of age, address, city, state, zip code, home and cell phones and head of household and spouse emails.
2. If you cannot submit a spreadsheet, click here for an easy online form.
3. Please email your spreadsheets to Ethel Gjerde ASAP. The original target date was by Friday, April 29, 2022.

Dear Clergy,

Thanks to those who have registered or asked for an excused absence from His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios using the form below. To finalize our planning, the deadline for our clergy to register or ask to be excused is Friday, September 30th. For both, use the online form below. A detailed schedule will be emailed next week to those who register by the deadline. Please do not call the Diakonia Retreat Center to register or reserve room and board. That is the responsibility of my office to work with them.

Our prayers continue for our brethren in Florida and elsewhere in the path of Hurricane Ian. His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios has sent a special message you can read by clicking here.

Faithfully yours,

+Fr. George Tsahakis
Chancellor
