St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Church, Vineland, NJ Donates Baptismal Font to Manila, Philippines.

The Exarchate of the Philippines is a jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople governed by the Orthodox Metropolitanate of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia (OMHKSEA). As of 1 September 2009, there are some 560 members of this jurisdiction in the country, around 40 of those being expatriates. There are three parishes and three chapels in the Philippines. Below are two pictures taken at the Annunciation Orthodox Cathedral displaying the newly donated  baptismal font.

The Annunciation church was consecrated by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I on March 5, 2000, during his visit to the Philippines. Two other churches, in Cataingan and Los Baños, have since been established, along with a few other chapels.

"I would like to inform you that, as scheduled, the procession of the Cross will take place this upcoming Sunday of the Cross Veneration. The procession will take place at the end of the Great Doxology. We will proceed through the north, west and south of the nave and go around the table set in the middle three times. The veneration of the Cross will take place immediately after the procession. For those not present, they can venerate the Cross at the end of the Divine Liturgy. The Cross will stay in the nave until next Saturday."

Blessings

Fr. N. Galanopoulos
