This past Tuesday evening, July 22, His Eminence, Metropolitan Nicholas delivered the homily at an ecumenical vigil service dedicated to St. Anna, mother of the Theotokos.

BOSTON – His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios visited the National Braille Press on September 14, 2017. During the visit he received the first copies of Speaking to God, My Orthodox Prayerbook, and the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom printed in Braille by the National Braille Press for the Department of Religious Education of the Archdiocese of America. It is believed that these are the first books ever published in Braille for Orthodox Christians.
