On the evening of Thursday, October 2, 2025, His Eminence Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden and All Scandinavia held the second meeting of the Catechumens of the Holy Metropolis of Sweden, at the facilities of St. George Cathedral of Stockholm (Birger Jarlsgatan 92, 11420 Stockholm).
Metropolitan Cleopas once again was the speaker, in English, since among the participants there are several Catechumens of the Orthodox faith who come from different countries.
The topic of the second lecture was: “The Foolishness of the Cross,” during which the Metropolitan presented a multitude of examples from the Saints of the Church referring to the Mystery of the Cross.
Questions followed the lecture, and clear answers were provided.
It is worth noting that the total number of participants, both in person and online, exceeded forty—double the number from last year.
At the end of the meeting, a reception was offered in the Cathedral Fellowship Hall, in honor of the young people who serve the local Church in various ministries.
The next meeting will take place on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at 6 p.m., again at the facilities of St. George Cathedral of Stockholm, with the theme: “Holy Mission (Ierapostoli).”
