10 September, 2017

His Beatitude John X, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East presided the Holy Liturgy in the Church of the Birth of Virgin Mary in Osnabruck on Sunday, assisted by His Eminence Isaac Barakat Metropolitan of Germany and Central Europe together with an assembly of priests and deacons and a congregation of faithful from the Antiochian parishes in Germany and Netherlands with the presence of other confessions’ representatives.

At the end of the Holy Liturgy, father George Esper held a speech welcoming the Patriarch as a father and pastor. In His return His Beatitude responded affirming the deep relationships between all Antiochian parishes despite of all distances. 

Later on, the children of the parish handed His Beatitude a letter of peace for their brothers in Antioch, praying for stability.
