SIX NEWLY ORDAINED CELIBATE PRIESTS CELEBRATE THEIR FIRST HOLY LITURGY
Forty days ago, His Holiness Aram I presided over the ordination of six
deacons to the priesthood. According to the Church tradition, the newly
ordained clergy spent forty days in seclusion for a time of prayer and
meditation. Having completed the forty days, yesterday they celebrated their
first Holy Liturgy in different parishes in Lebanon.
As of Monday, they will assume their monastic responsibilities according to
the tasks assigned to them by Catholicos Aram I.
