Fr. Peter Ordained as Hegumen

With great joy, the Diocese announces the ordination of Fr. Peter as a hegumen which took place on Sunday, November 27, 2011.

Fr. Peter was ordained by His Grace Bishop Missael at St. Mary & St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Centre where Fr. Peter has been priest of St. Mary & St. Abu-Sefein’s Church at the Coptic Centre since his ordination in Novemeber 2005. 

After the Sunday Divine Liturgy a celebration was held at St. Mary & St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Centre with the congregation of St. Mary & Archangel Michael joining later on.

We thank His Grace Bishop Missael and ask the Lord to keep him in widening the diocese and the appointment of new servants. We pray that the Lord may bless Fr. Peter’s service for many years to come.
