With hearts full of hope, the congregations of South Western Ontario join the heavenly procession for the soul of the late Heg. Fr. Mankarious Awadalla who rested in the Lord on December 24, 2009. Fr. Mankarious was the eldest Coptic priest in North America and possibly in the entire Coptic Orthodox Church. He served faithfully at Ti Agia Maria and St. Demiana Church in Etobicoke for many years and had many disciples and children. His reverence was especially known for teaching church dogma and authoring several books on the subject. Services will be held at Ti Agia Maria and St. Demiana Church 87 Elmhurst Drive, Etobicoke, Ontario M9W-2J8 as follows:
Friday, December 25 from 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm: Exchange of Condolences
Saturday, December 26 from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm: Funeral Service
May the Lord rest his blessed soul in the paradise of joy.
