On Thursday, His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel presided over the Divine Liturgy at the Patriarchal Cathedral in Bucharest, during which Archimandrite Paisie Teodorescu was ordained to the episcopacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Patriarch recommended the new hierarch for the additional vacant position of patriarchal auxiliary bishop.<\/p>\n

The ordination took place during the Divine Liturgy, after the Trisagion hymn.<\/p>\n

Following the ordination, the patriarchal auxiliary bishop Varlaam of Ploiesti read the Patriarchal Confirmation Act, by which the new hierarch was recognized as a patriarchal auxiliary bishop, with the title Bishop Paisie of Sinaia.<\/p>\n

His Grace Bishop Paisie of Sinaia received the specific vestments and the crosier from Patriarch Daniel.<\/p>\n

The Patriarch of Romania briefly emphasized the character traits of the newly ordained bishop Paisie.<\/p>\n

“Since the main virtues and merits of His Grace, the Patriarchal Auxiliary Bishop Paisie of Sinaia were highlighted in the patriarchal act of confirmation, we only say a few words.”<\/p>\n

“His Grace is a very studious intellectual, as seen in his doctoral thesis and the album about the Patriarchal Residence and the institutions on the Metropolitan Hill.”<\/p>\n

“He is a pious, industrious and very meticulous man as regards the order in administration, which is a necessity today, especially if we consider ourselves European and Latin.”<\/p>\n

“He also has a deep ecclesial conscience. He cares about the institution more than himself. This zeal to be in the service of the Church was decisive for recommending him as a Patriarchal Auxiliary Bishop because this institution is increasingly in demand through its many activities,” His Beatitude said on July 20.<\/p>\n

The Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church elected the new patriarchal auxiliary bishop in its working session on July 4, 2023.<\/p>\n
