BOSTON – In Portland Oregon there is a hidden treasure, the Agia Sophia Academy, a unique Pan-Orthodox School built on the values of the Orthodox faith in which Greek and Latin is taught. It is housed in the facilities of the Church of St. John the Baptist, but is governed by its own separate board.
On June 1 the Academy will celebrate its 15th anniversary with the participation of Metropolitan Gerasimos of San Francisco. In a telephone interview with The National Herald the principal of the Academy, Christina Bournelis-Blankenstein, said a big celebration is planned and that “All the proceeds will go to support the school. Our goal is to have 250 guests and 84 tickets have already been sold.”
