Bishop Evmenios of Chora visits the school camp of Saint John’s College, Preston

On Tuesday, 4 October 2025, His Grace Bishop Evmenios of Chora, representing His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia, had the honour of attending the annual camp of Year 11 and 12 students from St. John’s College Preston.

This camp, which takes place at the beginning of the school year, aims to strengthen the bonds between students, offer them spiritual guidance and prepare them for the challenges of the last years of their school career. This is a unique opportunity for self-knowledge, mutual support and strengthening of faith, so that they can face the year with courage, determination and trust in God.

His Grace, addressing the students, urged them to have Christ at the centre of their lives and to pray daily, drawing strength from their faith. He referred to the message of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia for the new year, where he emphasised the importance of making our cross in the morning as soon as we wake up and at night before we go to sleep, asking for God’s guidance and protection in every step we take.

Bishop Evmenios encouraged the students to strive diligently and dedicatedly in their studies, without fear or anxiety, knowing that every effort made with faith and sincerity has the blessing of God. He emphasised that regardless of the results, the Church, His Eminence Archbishop Makarios and all their teachers are proud of them and stand by them on this important journey of their lives.

His Grace Bishop Evmenios of Chora then conveyed to the students the blessings of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia.
