On September 8/21, the feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos, His Eminence served the Divine Liturgy at the Cathedral of St Markella in Astoria, NY.
His Eminence received the priest John Copeland into our Sacred Metropolis, from HOCNA. This happened not too long after the reception of Fr Theodoros Daoud, and Fr Elias Alreaedi, who both came from the Antiochian Archdiocese.
