St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church of Delaware
"But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple." – Psalm 5:9
On November 3rd, 2018, H.G. Bishop Karas ordained Engr. Amgad Fahmy as a priest for St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church of Lancaster, PA, and named him Father Moussa.
We congratulate Father Moussa on his ordination. He will always be remembered in our hearts as he leaves to begin his ministry. He stood to us as a beloved deacon, one who was strong in his service to Christ in St. Mary Coptic Church of Delaware.
Here are a few photos from the event:
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
May the peace and love of our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ be with you all.
This coming Thursday, 9/27, the church celebrates the feast of the holy cross. The liturgy will be early in the morning 7-9:15 A.M. The tune will be like Palm Sunday (Shaaneeny). Many returns to you and your families.
Please note that this liturgy replaces the usual Wednesday mass.
May God richly bless you.
Sincerely yours,
Fr. Mina
