APC Elects 2022-2024 Officers

(June 15, 2022) The vision of the Archdiocese Presbyters Council (APC) is “Brothers who love and serve one another.” We come together, representing each Metropolis/District of our Archdiocese, with one voice united together for our beloved Clergy. For over 50 years the APC has stood strong, united, being an active presence and unified voice for our Clergy. We work closely with the Retired Clergy Association (RCA); the National Sisterhood of Presvyteres (NSP); and the Archdiocese Benefits Committee (ABC).

On June 15, 2022, members of the APC made up of each Metropolis/District President and elected APC Representatives, convened to elect the 2022-2024 Executive Board (as per our by-laws to begin at the Commencement of the Clergy-Laity Congress). The following were elected to serve:

• President: Rev. Fr. Paul Kaplanis 
• Vice-President: Rev. Fr. Tom Chininis 
• Treasurer: Rev. Fr. Mario Giannopoulos 
• Secretary: Rev. Fr. Peter Orfanakos 
• Past President/Advisor: Rev. Fr. Mark Leondis
