Today, we join millions of well wishers to celebrate not only the birthday of ๐ซ๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ป๐ผ๐ต๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ, but also a life and a man who embodied wisdom, compassion, and leadership qualities that makes him a father figure to all his students and an esteemed Church historian.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ท๐๐ซ, ๐ฑ๐ท, is a man whose life is dedicated to education and to the well-being of every student who walked through the doors of his tutelage. ๐ฉ๐๐๐ is more than just a Rector and Lecturer; he is a guiding light, offering mentorship and support to everyone of us in his care. His office since attaining the role of a Rector of the college is always open, a safe haven where any students could seek guidance, share their dreams, or simply find a listening ear. He has an extraordinary ability to see potential in each of us, encouraging us to pursue our passions and reach for our goals.
Our Father’s contributions so far to academia extends beyond his role as a leader. As a Church historian, ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ passionately explore on a daily basis the rich tapestry of our faithโs history, sharing his insights with the students always. His lectures were not just lessons; they were invitations to explore the depths of our beliefs and understand the foundations of our faith. His love for history was infectious, igniting a curiosity in all of us to learn more and delve deeper into our shared heritage. He treats every student as his own child, celebrating our successes and comforting us in our failures. He teaches us that education is not just about academics; itโs about building a community grounded in love, respect, and support.
As a Theologian and Liturgist that he is, His knowledge of our liturgy is vast, and he shares it with such enthusiasm that it was impossible not to be captivated. Through his lectures and discussions, he teaches us to appreciate our heritage and our roots, to learn from great liturgists, and to apply those lessons in our services to be great worship leaders. He has a unique ability to connect historical events to our present realities, reminding us of the essence of being able to conduct any service well and be the best in our vocation and calling.
