Thomas Coletto

Thomas PAISIOS Colettois a Eastern Orthodox Christian in Phoenix, AZ

Coletto is a faithful member of the Eastern Orthodox Church, having been received into the fullness of the Orthodox faith through chrismation and full communion on January 5, 2026. A resident of Phoenix, Arizona, he is a dedicated parishioner at St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church, where he participates in the liturgical life, sacraments, and community of the parish.

Having embraced the ancient apostolic tradition of the Orthodox Church, Coletto submits fully to its teachings, the authority of the Ecumenical Councils, the writings of the Holy Fathers, and the grace-filled life of the Church. His journey into Orthodoxy reflects a deep longing for the true worship of God as preserved through the centuries, centered on the Divine Liturgy, prayer, fasting, and the pursuit of theosis.

He finds profound joy in the patristic wisdom of the Church Fathers, the lives of the saints (especially those like St. Paisios of Mount Athos, whose name he bears in faith), and the unchanging beauty of Orthodox theology and spirituality. Paisios seeks to live out the Crucifixional Life daily, putting Christ's will above his own, and growing in humility, repentance, and love for neighbor.

He welcomes fellowship with fellow Orthodox Christians and those inquiring about the ancient faith. May God grant mercy and salvation to all.
