Fr. Pishoy met with Hon. Michael Chan, MPP for Markham-Unionville and Minister of Tourism and Culture on Friday, January 28th at his constituency office in Markham. The main purpose of the meeting was to thank Minister Chan for gracing us with his presence during the Nativity Feast Liturgy and to present the latest architectural design of the Church. The minister warmly received Fr. Pishoy in his office and suggested some government programs which could be of assistance in funding phase two of our project which is the community centre. As minister of Culture and Tourism, Mr. Chan was happy that the first multicultural Coptic Orthodox Church will be built in his electorate jurisdiction. He also expressed gratitude for the warm welcome he received from our congregation while attending the Nativity Liturgy.
