Stockholm, Sweden — October 23, 2025. On Thursday evening, His Eminence Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden and All Scandinavia hosted the third meeting of the Catechumens of the Holy Metropolis of Sweden at the Cathedral of St. George in Stockholm (Birger Jarlsgatan 92, 11420 Stockholm).
His Eminence once again served as the keynote speaker and delivered his remarks in English, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of the Catechumens who are preparing to join the Orthodox Church from various countries.
The topic of the session was “The Missionary Work of the Church Throughout the World.” Due to the high level of engagement and the large number of questions submitted by participants, His Eminence presented only the introductory part of his address.
A total of 48 people attended in person, while more than 20 others participated online from countries throughout the Metropolis’ jurisdiction. His Eminence offered clear and thoughtful responses to all questions raised.
At the conclusion of the meeting, refreshments were offered in honor of the young volunteers who serve the local Church in various ministries.
The next Catechumens’ meeting will take place on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at the St. George Cathedral. The subject will again focus on Missionary Work, and His Eminence will present his full lecture at that time.
