1–Due to the horrific incidents and massacres of Nag Hammadi, Egypt the Archdiocese of North America, under the auspices of His Grace Bishop David, has declared three days of fasting and prayers from Wednesday, January 13 to Friday, January 16. In conjunction with the voluntary fast, the church will be celebrating Divine Liturgies during the three days:
Wednesday, January 13: 9am to 11am
Thursday, January 14: 7am to 8:30am
Friday, January 15: 9am to 11am

2– On Saturday, January 16, the Archdiocese will be holding a memorial service for the martyrs of Nag Hammadi at Saint Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church, East Brunswick, from 9am to 11am. His Grace Bishop David will preside the prayers joined by all the Reverend Fathers of the dioceses. Everyone is encouraged to attend in mourning clothes as a sign of unity.

We lift up our prayers imploring our Savior to grant peace and tranquility to the world and to strengthen His people to be steadfast in the upright faith. We pray for the families and friends of the martyrs and all the people of Nag Hammadi that God may grant them consolation.  We also  pray for our honored patriarch, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, and all metropolitans, bishops and priests that God may grant them wisdom, strength and courage that they may shepherd their flock in peace.
