Archbishop Sotirios of Canada had a special visit in his office from Athanasios (Thomas) Zachos, along with his sister Vasiliki, father Konstantinos, and grandmother Vasiliki Zacharopoulou.
Athanasios, a remarkable young man, bravely battles mitochondrial myopathy, a serious disease, with unwavering Christian faith.
To honor him, a chair for mitochondrial disease research has been established at the University of Toronto named after Thomas C. Zachos. Archbishop Sotirios welcomed them joyfully.
