St. Peter welcoming their Eminences

The St. Peter Church Board hosted an evening dinner with their Eminences Mor Clemis Eugene Kaplan and Mor Cyril Aphram Karim, and Reverend Fathers Louis Yacoub, Ephrem Adde, Yusuf Kallo, Peter Rouboz, and John Saif. The blessed and wonderful dinner was at Dandana Restaurant in Glendora. There were very vital discussions about the Youth, Jr. Youth, and Sunday School organizations to encourage our American born children to pursue a vocation in priesthood. The importance of the spiritual relationship between the child and priest was also another issue which was addressed, and to further increase a child's knowledge about our church and cultural aspects through various events and activities.

His Eminence Mor Cyril Ephram Karim extended his gratitude to the Church Board for the kind invitation. He then spoke about the commitment and achievement of St. Peter and stressed upon the importance to continue serving God's house with full love and dedication. Vice-president Kerim Allaf spoke on behalf of the Board, welcoming the Eminences and the clergy as well as the goals and progress of the newly acquired church. Kerim also thanked His Eminence Mor Clemis Eugene Kaplan for his leadership and support to the church.

It was a blessed and wonderful evening, as many important topics were discussed as well as many laughs. In concluding the evening, His Eminence Mor Cyril Aphram Karim welcomed and looks forward to seeing everyone at the national North American Adult Convention which will be in New Jersey during the month of July.
