This year’s Catholic-Orthodox Ecumenical Gathering will take place on Monday, March 6 at 7 p.m. at the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Christ the King, 2699 Peachtree Road, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30305.
His Excellency, the Most Reverend Wilton Gregory, Catholic Archbishop of Atlanta and His Eminence Alexios, Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Atlanta will officiate. The keynote speaker will be Deacon Steve Swope of Catholic Relief Services.
The theme of the Gathering is: Sowing the Seeds of Hope: The Plight of Refugees and Migrants
Because this event will be during Lent for both churches, there will be a “Meet & Greet” after the gathering in the foyer outside of Kenny Hall. Those attending are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to be distributed to the poor.
