On September 12, 2026, a double hierarchical Divine Liturgy was held at the Saint Paul Cathedral in Corinth. The ceremony, led by Metropolitan Paul of Corinth and Bishop Agapios of Kechries, featured the ordination of Konstantinos Ramantanakis to the diaconate.

Ramantanakis is identified as one of the first graduates of the Clergy Candidate Apprenticeship Schools (S.M.Y.K.), having completed his studies with distinction. During the service, Metropolitan Paul encouraged the new deacon to serve the Church with “faith, humility, and obedience,” while both the Metropolitan and the deacon referenced the blessing of Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece.
