The church organized a congregation trip to NY & NJ during the Western Easter long weekend from March 25 – 28, 2016. There were many significant meetings during this trip which made it unique and spiritually enriching. The group met with our beloved Fr. Tadros Yacoub Malaty where he spoke about Forgiveness and Spiritual Maturity. Also, a meeting was held with H.G. Bishop David where he discussed the gospel of the “Prodigal Son”. Furthermore, Fr. Michael Sorial led a discussion on the life of David. The group also celebrated the Divine Liturgy at St. Anianus Church and served the homeless in the Princeton, NJ area. In addition to the spiritual component of the trip, the group visited Manhattan and had time for shopping and fellowship. This was an amazing time for the congregation to bond and grow together is spirit and the love of Christ.
