On Monday, the Deputy General Secretary of NATO, Mircea Geoan\u0103, attended the Divine Liturgy held in the Hall of Crosses at the Munich Church Centre.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The distinguished guest was given a tour of the establishment, after which he posted a message of appreciation on his Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> profiles.<\/p>\n

Mircea Geoan\u0103 wrote that the Church Centre in Munich is “the most significant Romanian foundation in Bavaria and, perhaps, maybe even in Germany.”<\/p>\n

“An impressive architecture inspired by Curtea de Arge\u0219 Monastery and a young and vibrant Romanian community that preserves its tradition, language and faith. And the important connection with the country, the eternal ‘home'”, the NATO official also wrote on social networks.<\/p>\n

\n“Our respect for the tireless effort and guidance of His Eminence Serafim Joant\u0103, with whom I remember discussing this beautiful project since 2003, and for His Grace Sofian of Bra\u0219ov, who takes care of the spirit of the Romanians in Munich,” NATO’s Deputy Secretary General concluded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Munich Church Centre is the largest facility of the Romanian Orthodox Metropolis of Germany, Central and Northern Europe. Located at Kastelburgstrasse 84-88, 81245 M\u00fcnchen-Aubing, the ensemble includes a church, a monastery and a parish community centre.<\/p>\n

The church is dedicated to The Exaltation of the Holy Cross and St. Callinicus of Cernica. The settlement also has a chapel dedicated to St. Silouan the Athonite.<\/p>\n
