Friday, September 15, 2023 can also be characterized as a historic moment for Hellenism in the diaspora and in particular for the European diaspora.
If June 14th is the creation of the "flesh" of the European Hellenism Foundation, Friday September 15th could also be characterized as the spiritual "metusia" of an organization that wants to take under its umbrella the Hellenism of the European diaspora and to highlight him to the highest degree and in all areas.
On Friday the 15th at noon, the consecration of the European Foundation of Hellenism took place under the Archpriest Father Konstantinos at the offices of the European Foundation of Hellenism in the center of Brussels.
After the end of the consecration, the president Filippos Kotsaridis and president of the Greek community of Belgium took the floor, who also thanked Father Konstantinos for performing the consecration. He then referred to the need to unify the Hellenism of the Diaspora and highlight the morals, customs of history and culture and as he mentioned, we will proceed step by step with humility, dedication and love for Greece and Hellenism.
Protopresbyter Father Konstantinos said:
<<The church you belong to will support you in any endeavor>>, and also <<the Metropolitan expresses his support, who could not attend because he is outside Belgium>>.
Then followed the necessary photo shoot.
