Holy Qurbana to be conducted at Urshlem Aramana Chapel, Beasley every Saturday Morning.

Morning Prayer will start at 9.00 AM followed by the Holy Qurbana

 

Dearly Beloved,

 

We are greatly thankful to all our clergy and faithful for the support and encouragement we get from all of you regarding the development of the Diocesan center at Beasley. Within this one year we were able to conduct different local and diocesan level meetings in Urshlem including the visit of His Holiness the Catholicos and the related meeting of The Catholicate day collection. Our aim to develop Urshlem as a spiritual center with different projects that we have already published, has to be fulfilled according to its priorities.

 

We were conducting Holy Qurbana in the chapel on Sundays and important feast days of the church like all the monasteries and diocesan centers. But we have received a suggestion from the people that it is convenient for them to have Holy Qurbana on Saturday in Aramana chapel instead of Sunday, since people can attend Sunday school and the other spiritual organizations on Sundays in their respective churches in Houston. Moreover the visitors to the city can also benefit from Saturday because they would be able to attend the local churches on Sundays with their friends and relatives. So From December 1st onwards the regular service in the Aramana chapel will be moved from Sunday to Saturday. Rev. Fr. Mammen Mathew will organize the services in the chapel as the chaplain with the cooperation of Rev. Fr. Geevarghese John.

 

We seek the prayerful cooperation and support all the clergy and the faithful in this regard. Especially those who are serving in the altar has to make it a point that once in a while, they come and serve in the Aramana chapel to conduct the services without any hindrances. Morning Prayer will start at 9.00 AM followed by the Holy Qurbana. On the thanksgiving holiday weekend Saturday, we will celebrate Holy Qurbana in the chapel as a beginning of this change.

 

We wish all our faithful a blessed thanksgiving celebration on this weekend the nation celebrates its harvest festival.

 

Your Shepherd in Christ, Alexios Mar Eusebius Metropolitan
