SMSV church fathers received the blessing of visiting our beloved shepherd H.H. Pope Shenouda III in Cleveland on Wednesday, May 25th. In his known kindness, His Holiness spent quality time with the fathers inquiring about many details about the mission, the church activities, and the building project. The fathers presented a report to His Holiness concerning the growth of the ministry and the initiation of St. Moses & St. Katherine Mission Church in downtown Toronto. The fathers also congratulated His Holiness for celebrating the 40th anniversary of his enthronement on the sea of St. Mark which will be celebrated on November 14, 2011, God willing. At the conclusion of the meeting, His Holiness presented special gifts to the fathers and prayed for the continued success of the ministry. May our Lord Jesus Christ preserve for us the life of our beloved father to shepherd his flock with purity and righteousness.
