To my students I extend heartfelt thanks for making me one of the many proud
observants of their stalwart efforts to learn and grow. We have lived together
these many months as a father with his sons in the Academy dorms. We pray, eat
and study together dailyand we also have fun! We regularly share our concerns
for the proper dissemination of our incomparably profound Greek Orthodox
inheritanceto a world wrought with various other attractions and distractions.
Each of these young men has gifts that when carefully cultivated will bring many
souls to the path of salvationChrist's love.
To my colleagues (fellow priests, faculty and staff) of the Academy and of the
Metropolis at large, I shall forever be indebted for your kindness and forbearance
during my weak efforts to properly fulfill my duties as Dean.
To the people of Toronto (and especially our YOUth) and beyond, I bow in
repentance before each and everyone of you. My life has been immeasurably
enhanced because of your worthy lives of faith, hope and love. I look forward
with His Eminence's blessingin the future (as in the past)to visit as
confessor/spiritual father that we might continue encouraging one another
