On Tuesday, December 26, 2023, the Youth and Jr. Youth from the three local churches in New Jersey, paid a Christmas visit to His Eminence Mor Dionysius John Kawak.
Along with the youth attended Very Rev. Fr. Joseph Chamoun parish priest of St. Mark’s Cathedral, Very Rev. Fr. Aziz Hadodo parish priest of St. Gabriel’s, and Rev. Fr. Gabriel Alkass parish priest of the Church of the Virgin Mary.
His Eminence first wished them all a Merry Christmas and asked each Youth President to speak about recent and upcoming events.
Each clergy also shared a spiritual message and spoke to the Youth and Jr. Youth how proud they all are of them being united and always in support of one another. They also mentioned that they are very blessed and happy to see that they all are active by volunteering their time and dedication into serving the Church.
It was then concluded with soft refreshments and a blessing from His Eminence who thanked them all for the visit and gifts.
