The Patriarchal Theological Orthodox Academy of Toronto has operated successfully for 25 years. It has a four-year university program of Theological Studies and is affiliated with St. Paul’s University in Ottawa. Its bachelor’s degree is recognized by all theological schools and universities.
Fifty-nine students have graduated from the Theological Academy and thirty-four of them have been ordained and serve the communities in Canada. The Holy Archdiocese of Canada has 78 communities, 16 of which are missionary parishes (meaning they have no permanent priest and are instead being served by priests who live close by).
The communities and Philoptochos chapters of the greater Montreal area, under the guidance of the local priests, organized a luncheon at the Palace Convention Centre, with great success. The funds for the luncheon were donated by Nicholas Tsatas, Archon Protonotarios of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and owner of the Palace Convention Centre. Fr. Nicolas Papageorgiou was the Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Fr. Charalambos Tzintis was Vice Chairman, and Fr. Christian Socosan and Spyridon Voutos were committee members. Fr. Voutos was also the M.C. at this event, which was attended by six hundred and fifty people.
