Watertown Greek Church Welcomes New Priest

By |

When Father Athanasios Nenes was named as the new priest at the Taxiarchae Church in Watertown, he was returning to a familiar place. 

On Jan. 18 Bishop Metropolitan Methodios came to Watertown for the installation of Nenes as priest of Taxiarchae Church. “It was very emotional, to tell you the truth,” Nenes said. “A great number of people came to greet me.” Nenes was born in Bridgeport, Conn., and moved to Greece at a young age.
