LOMBARD, IL, April 16, 2021 – The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago has announced the dates and registration information for its annual Junior Olympics, which will take place in person after last year’s cancellation caused by COVID-19.

Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Palos Hills, Illinois. After consulting with the Metropolis’ medical advisors and following best practices provided by the Center for Disease Control, the Illinois Department of Public Health, and the various States where our participants reside, the Junior Olympics will be safely conducted with appropriate physical distancing and PPE in a condensed format. The Metropolis is working closely with its medical and legal advisors, as well as the leaders at SS. Constantine and Helen, to provide the safest event possible.
