Orthodoxy was virtually extinct on the island, having been brought to Madagascar by Greek immigrants to Antananarivo, when Bishop Nectarios (Kellis) of blessed memory began his missionary labors there in 1994. Today the Diocese of Antananarivo consists of some 80 parishes served by 30 Madagascaran Orthodox priests. The Diocese also maintains 8 missionary centers, 16 schools, 3 technical colleges, 2 clinics, and a nursing home.
