God will bless him and your community!
This announcement came as quite a surprise. We lost Fr. Georges in January. He was called back to his monastic community to serve as assistant to the Superior General. He was a deeply spiritual man and we enjoyed many wonderful conversations on faith. His replacement was ordained only 2 years ago. He beautifully celebrated the liturgy and delivered marvelous sermons. Like us, he too is quite surprised. I am looking forward to Fr. Issa. Coming to us from a christian minority in Syria, he knows persecution and suffering. May our Lord bless him on this journey.
Thank you for your kind words. Please remember him and our community in your prayers as I do you and yours.
