On Sunday, October the 10-th 1999, His Beatitude †Stefan - the fifth successive Head of Macedonian Orthodox Church since the restoring of the autocephalous Ohrid Archbishopric was enthroned on the throne of the Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia. His election was conducted in accordance with the Constitution and provisions of the Macedonian Orthodox Church for adoption by the Assembly in accordance with the cannon of the Orthodox Church.
This Holy Ordination was held at the Archbishopric Cathedral Church St Sophia in Ohrid Macedonia, which has been the sacred place for the witnessing of Macedonian Christian Orthodox faith since the 11-th Century in Ohrid.
As a helmsman of the Macedonian spiritual ship just like his predecessors, His Beatitude †Stefan, Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia, will surely leave his mark “…because to be a Head of our holy Macedonian Church, in this times, one needs additional strength and a lots of wisdom in order to find truly God-pleasing solutions for everyday life of the church and for the conduct of each and every one of us…”.
The American-Canadian Diocese of Macedonian Orthodox Church, as of now is under supervision of Episcope Methodius.
