On the afternoon of Thursday, November 6, 2025, the fourth consecutive meeting of the catechumens and newly illumined of the Holy Metropolis of Sweden was held at the St. George Cathedral of Stockholm (Birger Jarlsgatan 92, 114 20 Stockholm), with the participation of almost 50 young people.

Once again, His Eminence Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden and All Scandinavia served as the speaker, addressing the participants in English to accommodate the diverse group of catechumens and newly baptized faithful who come from various countries and cultural backgrounds.

The topic of the presentation was the continuation of the lecture entitled: “The Missionary Work of the Church throughout the World.”

The Metropolitan presented the full content of his address, referring to the apostolic identity of the Orthodox Church, as well as the contemporary witness of the faith across all continents. A Q&A session followed. At the conclusion of the meeting, refreshments were offered in honor of all who were present, particularly the young people who serve the local Church faithfully and with dedication in various ministries.

The next meeting will take place on Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at the same location, where a new cycle of thematic presentations will take place. (The entrance is from the church driveway.)
