Memorial at Hellenic College/Holy Cross
Today I was at Hellenic College/Holy Cross to attend the burial of Archbishop Iakovos who passed away this past Sunday. My uncle, Fr. Germanos Stavropoulos, served as his chancellor until his death in 1994. The Archbishop's burial was attended by hundreds of people and was buried behind the seminary chapel next to Bishop Silas, whom my uncle also served with as Chancellor in the diocese of New Jersey. The last time I had the privilege of seeing the Archbishop in March of 2004, pictured here on the far left, sitting next to my mom.
Apologies for the lack of photos of the event. I will post some as they become available.
The New York Times has a well-written obituary.
