On Saturday, March 16, 2019, we celebrated the first Coptic Orthodox Divine Liturgy in our new church home. His Grace Bishop David, our diocesan bishop, led this joyful celebration, joined by many fathers of the Diocese of New York and New England.
Our congregation gathered around the altar in thanksgiving as the Holy Mysteries were celebrated, marking the beginning of our sacramental life in this church.
Glory be to God, who brought us to this blessed day.
This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
