In feelings of joy and emotion, the faithful Orthodox Christians of the Holy Church of the Transfiguration of Savior Port Said, participated in the Mystery of the Divine Eucharist and in the ordination of the New Deacon of the Holy Metropolis of Pelusion, Mr. Hani Bayook, who was renamed to father Parthenios.
Fr. Parthenios, a native of Mansoura, Egypt, is a Professor Doctor of Otorhinolaryngology. He worked for more than thirty years in Canada and returned to his homeland in order to offer his services to the Church.
The new Deacon received the name Parthenios, in memory of the late Patriarch of Alexandria Parthenios, the elder of the now Patriarch Theodoros II, as well as the late Metropolitan of Pelusion, Parthenni Daniilidis (1931-1967).
