We were blessed by the visit of H. G. Bishop David on Lazarus Saturday, March 27th. On this joyful day, His Grace baptized Leonard Maurice Cyril Chen and ordained ten deacons:
To the rank of Epsaltos (singer): Matthew John Azouz, Jonathan George Dawoud, Stephen Cyril Dawoud, Michael Mekhail, Stephen Mekhail, Fadi Pishoy Mekhail.
To the rank of Anagostis (reader): Anwar Peter Mekhail, Said Paul Mishriky, Nagy Lazarus Fam, and Mamdouh Hanna.
We were also blessed by His Grace’s presence to celebrate the Apocalypse overnight vigil on Bright Saturday, April 3rd. It was a memorable night indeed filled with praises, scriptural readings, processions, and the reading of the Book of Revelation. The night was crowned by celebrating the Divine Liturgy. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank H.G. Bishop David for making this Holy Week extra special and for conveying to us the blessings and prayers of H. H. Pope Shenouda III. May the Lord preserve for us their lives for many years to come.
