On December 3rd Father Stephen celebrated the 50th anniversary of his Ordination to the Holy Priesthood. He was ordained Deacon by Metropolitan Silas on Oct. 28, 1972 and was ordained Priest by Archbishop Iakovos on Dec. 3, 1972. Both ordinations occurred at the Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, New York, NY where Father Stephen’s ministry began.

He then continued on to serve at two parishes in Rhode Island before arriving here in San Francisco where the past 35 of his 50 years of ministry has been spent faithfully and lovingly serving the good people of the Annunciation Cathedral.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Father Stephen for his pastoral care over the years and we congratulate him on this amazing milestone in his ministry. Πάντα άξιος! Ever worthy!
