In an historical celebration at the Church of Virgin Mary & St. Athanasius in MississaugaH.G. Bishop Mina, surrounded by bishops, priests, and thousands of congregants, was enthroned for the Diocese of Mississauga, Vancouver and Western Canada. As such, H.G. Bishop Mina becomes the first Coptic bishop to be enthroned for a diocese in Canada. Clergy and laity came from very far regions and countries to participate in this historical event. Everyone in attendance was extremely joyful to witness this day and to welcome His Grace. From the bottom of our hearts, we congratulate the clergy and congregation of the new diocese and we pray that our Lord would strengthen and bless the ministry of H.G. Bishop Mina through the prayers of our honoured father H.H. Pope Tawadros II.
