Hieromonk Athanasios [Rome] fell asleep in the Lord at Saint Anthony Greek Orthodox Monastery here on Saturday morning, November 22, 2014. Several days before his repose, he had received monastic tonsure, having formerly been known as the Archpriest Michael.
Over the years, he served at Saints Peter and Paul Church, Boulder Creek, CA; as Rector of Saints Cyril and Methodios Church, Chico, CA; and as chaplain and confessor to the nuns at the Life Giving Spring Greek Orthodox Monastery, Dunlap, CA. He was a confessor and beloved pastor to countless Orthodox Christian faithful. In retirement, he was attached to the Elevation of the Holy Cross Church, Sacramento, CA.
Additional information and service times will be posted as they are received.
May Hieromonk Athanasios’ memory be eternal!
