Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I continues Apostolic visit to US

The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, His All Holiness Bartholomew I, on Wednesday continued his Apostolic tour of the United States, arriving in Pittsburgh to a warm welcome from the Metropolitan Savas and faithful from the Metropolis.

South Bend, Indiana was the next stop on the Ecumenical Patriarch’s itinerary.

In a joyous statement, His All Holiness noted that “…With great joy we arrive in this Holy Metropolis of Chicago – for the first time since our first Apostolic and Patriarchal Visit in 1997, so many years ago. We have come to the famous city of South Bend, to further the work of ecumenical dialogue and environmental justice, by accepting from the renowned University of Notre Dame a Doctor in Laws degree honoris causa. We will receive this honorary doctorate in the name of the Mother Church of Constantinople, our Ecumenical Patriarchate, the First Throne of Orthodoxy.”
