&lt;br /&gt;
The ordination was delayed because of the governmental restrictions on gatherings and services after the arrival of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus Covid-19 virus] in Canada.  However, at the time of the ordination, a relaxation of the regulations in Québec allowed for a large attendance by the Faithful at the service.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Reflections==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Archbishop Sotirios said : &lt;br /&gt;
  I am delighted that the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Canada has received three worthy Auxiliary Bishops. &lt;br /&gt;
  We are determined to work as a family so that our Church in Canada can continue its spiritual and material&lt;br /&gt;
  progress.  I congratulate the three new Auxiliary Bishops.  I wholeheartedly wish them to live according &lt;br /&gt;
  to God.  To work with all their souls.  To enjoy true happiness, which stems from accomplishing God’s will &lt;br /&gt;
  and the satisfaction one receives from the fruits of one’s efforts.  I deeply regret that many faithful &lt;br /&gt;
  could not attend the ordinations due to the measures taken as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  I respectfully and gratefully thank His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and the Holy and &lt;br /&gt;
  Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate for the tremendous love and support they have shown to our &lt;br /&gt;
  Holy Archdiocese.  On bended knees do I bless, glorify and praise, and wholeheartedly thank the Thrice-Holy &lt;br /&gt;
  God, who watches over the least of us and has gifted us three new Bishops.  I promise to work together and &lt;br /&gt;
  in harmony with their Graces the new Bishops so that our Church in Canada can continue to progress in glory &lt;br /&gt;
  to the Thrice-Holy, Trinitarian God.&lt;br /&gt;
