The section of Highland in front of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church is being renamed to honor Father Nicholas L. Vieron, the church’s longtime pastor who died in September.
For months before he died, the Greek Orthodox priest’s front yard became a gathering place for well-wishers from all parts of town and walks of life.
The Greek Orthodox priest retired from the pulpit in 1991, but kept working as the church’s pastor emeritus and the community’s chaplain and cheerleader.
Rev. Nicholas L. Vieron’s funeral will include an all-night vigil in Memphis that will be livestreamed on YouTube, before burial in his hometown of New Orleans.
Monday, for the first time in 48 years, Rev. Nicholas Vieron will not conduct his annual Adult Greek Class, a Memphis tradition. His mind and soul are willing. His body, not so much these days.
