Holy Qurobo – Mor Stephanos Church in Gutersloh

His Holiness Patriarch Mor Ignatius Aphrem II celebrates the Holy Qurobo at Mor Stephanos Church in Gutersloh on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of its foundation.

During the Holy Qurobo, His Holiness was assisted by their Eminences Mor Philoxenus Mattias Nayis, Patriarchal Vicar in Germany, and Mor Julius Hanna Aydin Director of Foreign Affairs in the Diocese of Germany.

In his sermon, His Holiness spoke about priesthood and the ministry it offers for the faithful as well as the qualifications of the priests that are necessary for their service. He added that the priest should be a father for all and should love all his children alike. His duty is to take care of the spiritual life of his flock and he should be away from the love of fame and money.

He then spoke about the foundation of Mor Stephanos Church as well as the different stages it went through.

Likewise, His Holiness consecrated the icons of the church.
