Patriarch Porfirije of the Serbian Orthodox Church has conducted consecration ceremonies for religious sites in different regions.

In Pale, the Patriarch consecrated the Church of the Assembly of the Holy Archangel Gabriel, a project initiated in 2008 to serve the local student population. The ceremony was attended by high-ranking officials, including Milorad Dodik, President of Republika Srpska.

In Kibborum, Australia, the Patriarch led the consecration of the Church of Saint Archdeacon Stephen, which was originally built in 1994 by the local Serbian community. During the service, he addressed the Serbian diaspora, stating that they are united by a “zone called faith” that transcends geographic distance from the homeland.
