Ordination of Rev Stephen Stefani Highlights Annual Assembly

Philadelphia - The Rev Deacon Stephen P. Stefani was ordained to the Holy
Diaconate on October 20, 2001, during the Annual Assembly of the Albanian
Orthodox Archdiocese. His Beatitude, Metropolitan Theodosius, Archbishop
of Washington, D.C. presided at the Hierarchal Liturgy held at St. John
Chrysostom Albanian Orthodox Church, host for this year's gathering of
clergy and lay leaders.

       Reverend Deacon Stefani is a well-known personage active as
officer in numerous church, fraternal and civic organizations
representing the Albanian-American community at large. A respected
educator, he has served as acolyte, chanter and sub-deacon for many years
as well as counsellor to the Albanian Orthodox Youth Council. His late
parents, Philip and Liza Stefani arrived in the U.S. from Vithkuq and
Qafzezi, Albania.  Both were active faithful, having received special
awards from the Albanian Archdiocese, in honor of their long time
service. Rev. Deacon Stefani is assigned to his home parish of St. John
Chrysostom in Philadelphia to assist in numerous liturgical and pastoral
programs.
