New Project Manager Appointed for the Departments of the Orthodox Church in America
The Orthodox Church in America announces the appointment of Archpriest Justin Patterson as Project Manager for the Departments of the Church. Father Justin succeeds Archpriest Thomas Soroka, who has faithfully served in this capacity for more than five years.
His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon expressed gratitude to Father Thomas for his dedicated service. During his tenure, Father Thomas helped guide the Church through the transition from the former departmental model to the current structure.
“We are thankful for Father Thomas’ commitment and pastoral care in overseeing the work of the Departments during a period of renewal and restructuring,” said Archpriest Alessandro Margheritino, Chancellor of the Orthodox Church in America. “On behalf of His Beatitude and the entire Church, we extend our gratitude for his faithful service.”
Father Justin now assumes responsibility for coordinating the work of the Departments as the Chancery continues its own transition. “We are grateful for Father Justin’s willingness to step into this important role, and we look forward to working closely with him in the years ahead,” added Father Alessandro.
