On Sunday, December 21st, 2014, His Beatitude Theodoros II, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, performed in the Holy Patriarchal and Cathedral Church of St Savvas the Sanctified the ordination of His Grace Neophytos, Bishop of Nitria, as reported by the Patriarchate's website.

Prior to his ordination to the episcopacy, His Grace Neophytos was one of over 160 mission priests in Kenya who are assisted through the OCMC's Support a Mission Priest program. In addition, he serves as Director of Archdiocese Affairs for the Church in Kenya and teaches at the Makarios III Patriarchal Seminary. We thank His Grace for his tireless efforts on behalf of the Church and people in Kenya. We pray that His Grace is blessed with many years as the new Bishop of Nitria! May more people come to the saving knowledge of the truth through the Orthodox Faith as a result of His Grace’s continuing ministry service.
