On Monday, May 6, 2024, in the presence of His Eminence Mor Dionysius John Kawak, and V. Rev. Fr. Aziz Hadodo, V. Rev. Fr. Shabo celebrated the Holy Liturgy at Mor Gabriel Church in Haworth, New Jersey.
In his sermon V. Rev. Joseph Shabo mentioned that our Syriac Orthodox Church has a beautiful tradition that our forefathers gave down to us that on this day we visit the cemeteries to pray for our late Patriarchs, Bishops, Monks, and departed ones.
