He played an important role at the beginning of the 20th century for the worship of God in the Albanian language, especially after his assignment as a cleric for the Albanian community in America. His surrender was no accident. This is proven by the origin of the family with ecclesiastical traditions, his educational training, engagements as a psalmist, as a teacher of religion and Byzantine church music. He had a deep conscience for the service of the clergy, for the sacrifices of this service. His Grace Theofani served with love and devotion for many years until the end of his life as Archbishop (Metropolitan) of the Diocese of the Albanian Diaspora in America.

Monsignor Theofani and why he basically remains a man of religion, does not isolate himself inside the temple. Clerical clothing would not become an obstacle to speaking and writing for different situations, responding to the needs of the time. His activity is dynamic, a personality with outstanding intellectual values. They appear in prose, poetry, journalism, in oratorical lectures in the religious, social, political, cultural spheres, as well as in biographical stories full of historical arguments. He highlighted the spiritual values ??of this people, aiming to incarnate the Gospel in their language.

59 years without Fan Nolin, one of the brightest figures of Albania

Although he lived very little in Albania, he worked with a lot of energy and dynamism, making an important contribution to the efforts for the Autocephaly of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Albania. His life is full of hardships and deprivations, offering himself for the spiritual rebirth of the people and the re-dimensioning of the Albanian society as a whole in the period of the birth and rise of the Albanian state.

The Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Albania, in its liturgical and historical tradition, constantly remembers its hierarchs and all who have contributed to it.

May his memory be eternal!
