Every year, following the ratification of our Parish Council Elections in November and December, each Clergyman is asked to offer the Oath of Office and conduct Officer Elections. After  you have completed the oath and officer electlions, please click the link below to update the names of your Parish Ministry Leadership, including new Parish Council officers.

If your parish elections have not been ratified, please copy the link below and submit once you have received ratification. By completing this information with the online form in the link below, we save time from the old method of you sending us handwritten and typed forms. If you have any questions, please contact Ethel Gjerde, executiveassistant@atlmetropolis.org. Thank you.

At our Fall Clergy Retreat, it was noted we might have a February retreat. Please be aware we are waiting until later this year to host. Once a date has been approved, Fr. George will post it on this site.

On behalf of His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios, I am reminding our Metropollis of Atlanta Clergy that most Fridays of the year are fast days and as such, His Eminence asks that we not schedule weddings on these days. If a critical and extenuating circumstance exists, as the local Priest, please inform the Chancellor in writing and he will review with the Metropolitan and advise you of a final decision. Thank you for your help for us to be consistent with all our couples getting married.

On January 17th, Fr. George was informed that our nearly 60 Metropolis parishes who wished to be included in the Archdiocese IRS Group Exemption we compiled last February were inadvertently left out of the Archdiocese IRS Group Exemption emailed on 1.12.23. So that your parish is included in the next submission to the IRS later this year, please do the following ASAP.

First, click on this first link to see if your parish was affected. If your parish is listed, please click on this second link to follow-up as the Archdiocese requested on Tuesday, January 17, 2023. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Faithfully yours,
+Fr. George Tsahakis

Dear Clergy,

Tickets to individual events at Clergy Laity Assembly are available on the website:  https://stnicholastarpon.org/cl2023 under "a la carte.” 

The last day to purchase single tickets to individual events is Monday June 12th. Unfortunately, since each of the meals and events is catered, we have to get the official and final head counts for these events to the caterers soon after. 

We are in the process of adding more details to the schedule and updates will be reflected on the website as we add them.   Parishioners, stewards, and the faithful are welcome to all sessions at no charge - the only events requiring tickets are those where food is served.

St. Nicholas Cathedral, Tarpon Springs, FL, is excited to be hosting this year's Metropolis conferences. Registration is now open. Visit https://stnicholastarpon.org/cl2023 to register.
