Pontifical Commissioner of Calabria Father Skordinos Loses Battle Against Cancer, Italy

After a ongoing battle against cancer, Archimandrite Father Antonios Skordinos, Pontifical Commissioner of Calabria and Clerical Supervisor of St. Paul’s Orthodox Church, Reggio, passed away in the early hours of June 1st, at the age of 62.

Father Antonios, who was one of the closest partners of Metropolite Gennadios of Italy and Melite, was born in Athens. He studied Philosophy and Theology.  While working in the Italian Army, he also completed his Master’s in Patrology and Ecclesiastic History. After having retired with the rank of Major General, he joined the clergy of the Metropole of Italy to serve, under the supervision of Metropolite Gennadios, the big plan of the Regeneration of Greek Orthodoxy in the Great Greece (Magna Græcia).

In 2008, Metropolite Gennadios hired Father Antonios as the first Pontifical Commissioner of Calabria. The funeral service of Father Antonios will take place on Ascension Thursday, after the mass, led by the Metropolite Gennadios of Italy and Melite.
