During his stay in Dolisie on June 13th 2014, His Grace Panteleimon, Bishop of Congo-Brazzaville and Gabon, handed over foodstuff to the “St Efstathios” Orphanage of the Holy Diocese, following the baptism of newly-enlightened Orthodox Christians.
He then went on to visit the General Hospital in the city, where he donated a quantity of medication for the needs of the poor being cared for there. This small contribution is as a gift of gratitude of the Holy Diocese of Brazzaville to the hospital – one of the best in the country – and its Director General, Dr. Matthia Kassay who, following a past plea from the Bishop, has responded willingly, so that the little children from the Orthodox orphanage may receive free medical care and nursing.
In conclusion, within the framework of the total re-organization of the benevolent Institutions of the Holy Diocese and their effective operation, His Grace presided over lengthy successive meetings with the teaching staff of the Orthodox “Light of the World” schools and the staff of the “St Efstathios” Orphanage, with the participation also of the members of the Diocesan Council of the local Church who came to Dolisie for this reason.
