St. Mark church in Jersey City bids farewell our beloved His Holiness Pope Shenouda III to heavenly bosoms.
Rev. Father Abraam Sleman, Fr. Markos Ayoub, Fr. Daniel Abdelmaseih, the board of deacons, the deacons, and the congregation of St. Mark's of Jersey City, NJ are offering their condolences to the holy synod and the entire members of the Church all over the world with sincere prayers for the repose of His Holiness' soul in the bosom of the saints.
May God repose his soul and comfort all the church. A special wake service will be held tonight at 7pm in church until 9pm. Another memorial service will be held tomorrow after the Divine Liturgy in both churches.
We're glad to let you know that on the Feast of St Mark we have received unanimous approval on our initial plans for the new church building. We are now working on getting more detailed drawings ready for the city after which we are hoping to begin demolition of the existing buildings on West Side Ave and construction of the new building. The church requests your support on this new project through your prayers and donations. You can donate online. May everything be for the glory of God.
