Furthermore, it is our intent:

·  as the successor to the thrones and struggles of our Holy Predecessors, the Patriarchs of Constantinople, to honor their memory through the celebration of the Divine Liturgy in the Venerable Patriarchal Church, beginning with Patriarch Paul the Confessor this coming Wednesday, the 6th of this month.

·  to reinforce the observance of the special liturgical praxis of the Great Church. The promotion of liturgical life, in following the Typikon of our Church, will be the object of our special concern, because this is the center of our christian existence and life.

·  to publish yearly the Calendar of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

·  to reinforce and make good use if the Patriarchal Institute of Patristic Studies in Thessalonika, the Orthodox Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Chambesy, the Patriarchal Monastery of St. Anastasia the Pharmakolytria in Chalkidiki and the Orthodox Academy of Crete.

·  to sanctify during the coming Holy Week a new quantity of Holy Chrism, due to the diminishing supply contained in the Myrophylakion of the Patriarchate.

·  to reinforce and modernize the services of the Patriarchate on order that the workload might be less tiring and more productive. The piety and love of ancestry of the great Angelopoulos family, headed by the Honorable Archon Great Logothetis Mr. Panayiotis Angelopoulos, donated to us "a venerable mansion of Orthodoxy," the Patriarchal House, functional and beautiful, in which the diakonia of the Great Church will continue with even greater results, and from which her voice will proceed full of affection and solace towards her children throughout the earth and beyond. To our Great Benefactor and to his beloved family, we express, on this auspicious occasion, the satisfaction and praise of the Church of our People.
