All Visitation and Services will be at the Nativity-Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in 811 Jerusalem Road, Cohasset, MA 02025 Metropolitan Methodios visited St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Worcester, MA, to celebrate the Divine Liturgy with the parish community. The visit brought together faithful members for worship, reflection, and celebration. During the Divine Liturgy, His Eminence presided over a special tonsuring ceremony for altar boys, symbolizing their dedication and service to the church. The ceremony was met with heartfelt applause from the congregation, who viewed the moment as a testament to the enduring faith and vitality of the community’s youth. As we gather to celebrate the nativity of our Lord and Savior, let us reflect on the great mystery and profound significance of this great feast. The birth of Jesus Christ in a humble manger in the town of Bethlehem is not only a historical event, but a divine revelation that touches the very core of our lives as Orthodox Christians. On Christmas Day we are invited to embrace the joy and hope that the birth of our Savior brings to the world. Students from the Hellenic Academy of Lowell visited the Metropolis of Boston, spreading joy and festive cheer. The children delighted Metropolitan Methodios with traditional Greek Christmas carols, sharing their excitement about the birth of Christ and the true spirit of the season.

Metropolitan Methodios, visibly moved by the children's enthusiasm, welcomed them with open arms, referring to the Metropolis as their "Home Away From Home."

The GOYA from St. Nectarios in Roslindale visited the Metropolis of Boston Center on Thursday, December 12th. The highlight of their visit was the decoration of Metropolitan Methodios’ office. The GOYA members brought a real Christmas tree, which they adorned with ornaments, lights, and heartfelt Christmas spirit. During their time at the center, the youth also enjoyed a tour, which offered them a glimpse into the daily operations and history of the Metropolis of Boston. This experience deepened their understanding of the broader mission of their faith community and its leadership.
