On Friday, March 17, 2023, at St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church,
His Grace Bishop Timothy celebrated the Salutations of the
Theotokos (Hairetismoi) along with Very Rev. Simeon Johnson,
Rev. Fr. Dimitri Tobias and Deacon Anthony Callas.
Rev. Father, Christos J. Vagias, a former priest of St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago, passed away recently in the Village of Mikrospilia, his hometown, in Arta, Greece. He served at St. George for over 35 years. From the first moment at the church, he was determined to organize the community of St. George and he worked diligently with perseverance and self-sacrifice for all the years without counting effort and toil. He worked for the Greek Christian ideals. A brilliant preacher of the Greek language, he preached the word of God in plain Greek that was understood by the common people. His sermon spoke to the hearts of the Greeks who gathered to hear him every Sunday. Over the years, St. George and Father Vagias, synonymous with the Christian faith, unchanged from the influence of English, became a deacon for the preservation of the Greek-Christian faith. The expansion of the building complex with the addition of the Gymnasium and a Community for social events is due to the perseverance and hard work of Father Vagias. Under his guidance, the community of St. George raised funds and with the personal work of its members, a new building was formed that covered the constant needs of the community. Throughout his ministry, Father Vagias offered support, help, and comfort to anyone in need. He is survived by Presbytera Konstantina, his three children, Ioannis, Sotiris, and Nektaria, and his grandchildren.

Remembering Nikos Pentzaropoulos, the amazing goalkeeper of the Panionios Football Team in Athens, Greece, who was highly recognized for his excellent ability and performance. He was born in1927 and passed away in 1979 following his battle with cancer. He started football at the age of thirteen in his neighborhood team and with the great talent he had, he was immediately placed in the first team of Panionios, and in1948 he was called to the National team. He was nicknamed “Hero of Tampere”, after a legendary performance with the Greek Olympic team in a match that took place in the city of Tampere in Finland during the Summer Olympic Games of 1952. While in Tampere, he was given the chance to sign a contract and start training with the Inter Milan team. He made the decision and in August 1952 he traveled to Milan, signed the contract, and started training with the Inter Team. Unfortunately, certain things went wrong and Nikos, very disappointed with the circumstances, had to return to the Panionios team. Apart from being a football player, Pentzaropoulos was also a field jumper with excellent performance, and also, played volleyball and basketball.

Με το βλέμμα στο μέλλον
Στο ταχέως μεταβαλλόμενο διεθνές περιβάλλον, η αξιοποίηση της ψηφιακής τεχνολογίας αποτελεί καθοριστικό παράγοντα ανάπτυξης και ευημερίας για μια χώρα. Αναγνωρίζοντας αυτή την πραγματικότητα, η κυβέρνηση του Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη προωθεί τον ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό του κράτους, μια διαδικασία που ξεκίνησε κατά την προηγούμενη τετραετία και συνεχίζεται με αμείωτο ρυθμό, βελτιώνοντας όχι μόνο την καθημερινότητα των πολιτών, αλλά και την εικόνα της Ελλάδας διεθνώς. Το Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών, ως κατεξοχήν δυναμικό και εξωστρεφές Υπουργείο, που αντιλαμβάνεται από πρώτο χέρι τις προκλήσεις της νέας εποχής, δεν θα μπορούσε να απέχει από την προσπάθεια οικοδόμησης της ψηφιακής Ελλάδας.
Το έργο «Μετασχηματισμός Διαδικασιών Προξενικών Υπηρεσιών», που παρουσιάσαμε πρόσφατα με τον Υπουργό Εξωτερικών, Γιώργο Γεραπετρίτη, και το οποίο αναμένεται να τεθεί σε πλήρη λειτουργία κατά το επόμενο διάστημα, αποτελεί ένα σημαντικό βήμα προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση. Πρόκειται, ουσιαστικά, για μια μεταρρύθμιση των προξενικών υπηρεσιών, με τη χρήση ψηφιακών εργαλείων, όπως η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη, που θα επιτρέψει την αμεσότερη επικοινωνία μεταξύ Προξενικών Αρχών και πολιτών στο εξωτερικό και τη γρήγορη, εξ αποστάσεως διεκπεραίωση μεγάλου μέρους των αιτημάτων τους.
Η ψηφιοποίηση των προξενικών υπηρεσιών αναμένεται να αποφέρει πολλαπλά οφέλη.
Πρώτον, οφέλη για τον Έλληνα του εξωτερικού. Με τις νέες ψηφιακές υπηρεσίες ελαχιστοποιείται η αναγκαιότητα επίσκεψης του πολίτη στην προξενική αρχή και επιτυγχάνεται καλύτερη και ταχύτερη εξυπηρέτηση, μείωση της ταλαιπωρίας και εν τέλει βελτίωση της καθημερινότητάς του.
Δεύτερον, οφέλη για τις προξενικές μας αρχές και το Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών. Η ψηφιοποίηση θα οδηγήσει σε αποσυμφόρηση και εξοικονόμηση πόρων, καλύτερη οργάνωση και αναβάθμιση των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών.
Και τρίτον, οφέλη για τη χώρα μας. Ο ψηφιακός μετασχηματισμός των προξενικών υπηρεσιών εντάσσεται στην προσπάθεια για τη δημιουργία ενός κράτους που αξιοποιεί τη γνώση και την καινοτομία, που εξελίσσεται με γνώμονα την αποτελεσματικότητα και με επίκεντρο τον πολίτη. Αυτή την εικόνα της σύγχρονης Ελλάδας επιθυμούμε να προβάλλουν με το έργο τους οι Διπλωματικές μας Αρχές ανά τον κόσμο, οι οποίες αποτελούν συχνά την πρώτη πύλη εισόδου στην ελληνική πραγματικότητα για τους Έλληνες και ξένους πολίτες στο εξωτερικό.
Πάνω από όλα, με τη βελτίωση της εξυπηρέτησης των Ελλήνων του εξωτερικού μέσω της ψηφιοποίησης των προξενικών υπηρεσιών επιδιώκουμε να ενισχύσουμε τη σχέση τους με τη μητέρα πατρίδα. Μετά την άρση των περιορισμών στην ψήφο των Αποδήμων, μετά την καθιέρωση ειδικής ενότητας στο gov.gr για τους Έλληνες του εξωτερικού, η εξ αποστάσεως εξυπηρέτησή τους από τις Προξενικές Αρχές αποσκοπεί να τους φέρει ακόμα πιο κοντά στην Ελλάδα.
Αποδεικνύουμε έμπρακτα ότι η Ελλάδα αλλάζει, γίνεται πιο παραγωγική, πιο ψηφιακή, πιο δίκαιη. Με σύμμαχο τον Απόδημο Ελληνισμό μπορεί να γίνει και πιο ισχυρή. Στην προσπάθεια αυτή, το Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών αναλαμβάνει κεντρικό ρόλο.

"Not Just Greek School: Heritage Language Speakers" - An online presentation by Professor Zoe Gavriilidou and the National Hellenic Museum- November 14th at 6pm CST.
As we delve into the intriguing world of heritage speakers, a diverse and dynamic linguistic community often overlooked in discussions of language and identity, Professor of Linguistics at Democritus University of Thrace and a Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago, Ms. Zoe Gavriilidou joins the Hellenic National Museum in an online discussion.
Heritage speakers are individuals who grow up in multilingual environments, exposed to their family's heritage language alongside the dominant language of their society. The complexities of heritage language acquisition, the impact of heritage language maintenance on cultural identity, and the challenges faced by heritage speakers in an increasingly globalized world are all topics that will be explored during the discussion. By shedding light on the unique experiences and linguistic journeys of heritage speakers, we gain valuable insights into the rich tapestry of language diversity and heritage preservation.

On June 22, 2023, a photo exhibition namely “MARIUPOL, Life on the Edge
of Apocalypse,” was hosted by the Office of the Cook County Treasurer, Maria Pappas.
It depicted life in a Ukrainian city before and after the invasion by Russia.
The Exhibit featured dozens of photos by Mariupol photographers depicting life
in Mariupol, located off the northern coast of the Azov Sea. Prior to the Russian
invasion in February 2022, Mariupol was one of the largest towns in Ukraine,
with more than 425,000 people. A brutal and unrelenting bombardment obliterated
the once vibrant city, whose population has fallen below 100,000. “The images are
searing,” said Pappas. “The juxtaposition of the photos depicting the happy life before
the war and the heartbreaking images of loss and suffering is truly unforgettable.”
Mariupol and its surrounding region were once home to one of the largest and oldest
groups of ethnic Greeks outside of Greece. Ethnic Greeks were the third-largest ethnic
group after Ukrainians and Russians. The photos will be on display on the walls of the
Treasurer’s office until August 25, 2023.

The Consulate General of Greece in Chicago hosted Dimitri Hadzi's
"Historical Echos”, a superb Exhibition at the Rosenthal Fine Art in
Chicago, on June 21, 2023. The internationally renowned art professor
and sculptor, Dimitri Hadzi was the most distinguished sculptor of the
20th century and the last American modernist. His work was characterized
by the ability to merge themes and traditions from ancient Hellenic culture,
mythology, and theater. The work remained rooted in meaning drawn from
his Greek heritage. He was born in 1921 and passed away in 2016.
Many guests visited the Exhibition and admired all of his displayed sculptures.

Επισκέφθηκα την Κωνσταντινούπολη, όπου είχα την τιμή να εκπροσωπήσω το Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών στη Θρονική Εορτή του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου, κατά την οποία τιμάται η μνήμη του ιδρυτή του, Αγίου Αποστόλου Ανδρέα του Πρωτοκλήτου.
Με αίσθηση ευγνωμοσύνης συμμετείχα στην κατανυκτική, μεγαλοπρεπή Πατριαρχική Θεία Λειτουργία, που τελέστηκε στον Ναό του Αγίου Γεωργίου στο Φανάρι, μια μοναδική εμπειρία που συγκινεί κάθε χρόνο τους ορθόδοξους Χριστιανούς ανά την υφήλιο.
Επίσης, είχα την ιδιαίτερη τιμή να γίνω δεκτός από την Α.Θ.Π. τον Οικουμενικό Πατριάρχη, κ.κ. Βαρθολομαίο, έναν θρησκευτικό ηγέτη με διεθνή αναγνώριση και ακτινοβολία.
Η Ελληνική Πολιτεία τρέφει ύψιστο σεβασμό στον θεσμό του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου. Ευχαρίστησα τον Παναγιώτατο για το ανεκτίμητο έργο του υπέρ της Ορθοδοξίας και του Ελληνισμού, την πολυσχιδή κοινωνική του προσφορά και τις δράσεις του για την καλλιέργεια του διαθρησκειακού και διαπολιτισμικού διαλόγου.
Τέλος, είχα την ευκαιρία να συναντηθώ, στο Γενικό Προξενείο, με εκπροσώπους του Συνδέσμου Υποστήριξης Ρωμαίικων Κοινοτικών Ιδρυμάτων, με τους οποίους συζητήσαμε θέματα που απασχολούν την Ομογένεια.
