New Greek Consul in Perth welcomed with formal reception

The newly appointed Greek Consul in Perth, Eleni Georgopoulou, was officially welcomed at the Holy Diocese of Perth on Monday, December 2.

Accompanied by her husband and two children, the Consul was warmly received by His Grace Bishop Elpidios of Perth, representing His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia.

The event also saw the presence of Dimitrios Limnios, recently honoured as Archon of the Great Church of Christ by His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.

The evening included a formal dinner, during which Bishop Elpidios presented two videos: one on Patriarch Bartholomew’s visit to Australia, and another marking the centenary of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia (GOAA).

As a gesture of goodwill, Bishop Elpidios presented the Consul with a commemorative coin celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence, as well as a special set of coins marking the centenary of the GOAA.

The evening concluded with an exchange of Christmas gifts, with Bishop Elpidios wishing all a blessed and joyful Christmas.
