On Sunday, September 1/14, 2025, the Sinai brotherhood met in General Assembly and unanimously elected Archimandrite Symeon Papadopoulos as the Abbot of Sinai. At a future date, he will be consecrated Archbishop of Sinai, Pharan, and Raithou by the Patriarch of Jerusalem in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, after which he will be enthroned at Saint Catherine’s Monastery.
We wish him Πολλὰ τὰ ἔτη.

God Bless Archbishop-elect Symeon
