Holy Metropolis GOC Releases Site Redesign

The Holy Metropolis GOC of America is pleased to release its redesigned site. The template was completely redesigned and the database was moved to a better and more high-powered server. In addition, we are scanning through all of the articles that had suffered character corruption (the presence of squares and question marks, especially in the Greek articles) during a previous database restoration, in order to correct them.

The sermons will be restored in the coming days, and the Photo gallery is being completely redone. We did not, however, wish to delay the release of the site further, so please pardon the inconvenience.

It was started in 1997 by Father John Bockman, who was a missionary Priest formerly serving missions in Tennessee and Massachusetts since 1990. Father John served the faithful in Tucson and the surrounding area in his home Chapel until his repose in November of 2000. His wife, Presbytera Valerie, continued to make her home Chapel available for the mission, with clergy from Saint Nectarios Orthodox Church in Seattle and His Eminence, Metropolitan Moses of Toronto (then of Portland), visiting to provide the Divine Services.
