Westfield, New Jersey –
On Saturday, October 28, 2023, His Eminence Metropolitan Apostolos of New Jersey during the celebration of the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation in Baltimore, Maryland ordained the Rev. Deacon John Bullock to the Holy Priesthood. Father John has been serving at the Cathedral in Baltimore since his graduation from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of the Theology, first as the Pastoral Assistant and then in as the Second Clergyman of the parish since his ordination as a Deacon on March 25, 2024. Fr. John will continue his ministry to the Annunciation Cathedral as the Second Priest of this historic community under the guidance of the Proistamenos, the Rev. Protopresbyter Anastasios Bourantas. In his Archpastoral address, His Eminence reminded Fr. John that the life of the priest is a life of sacrifice, that he must view the community being entrusted to his spiritual care as an extension of his own family, and that he must always be prepared to serve the divine services and the faithful parishioners. May almighty God continue to bless Father John as he begins his priestly ministry to the Annunciation Community. AXIOS!!!
