Priest to join liturgy with patriarch during historic visit
The Rev. Dean Nastos of St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Cedar Rapids will join 39 other priests at a Chicago liturgy with Ecumenical Patriarch Dimitrios I. Iowa’s Greek Orthodox churches will close Sunday as more than 30,000 faithful attend Grant Park ceremony. Nastos calls the honor a blessing and a chance to energize his parishioners. The patriarch’s U S visit marks the first by a Constantinople leader and aligns with the Clergy Laity Congress in Washington.
