Patriarch John X met with the priests of Damascus and its countryside in the patriarchal headquarters in the presence of the auxiliary bishops in Damascus.
During the meeting, His Beatitude presented several pastoral issues related to the priest’s role in serving his parish, namely visiting the parish and being actively present among his parishioners. The Patriarch also listened to the concerns and questions of the priests on various pastoral and liturgical issues.
At the end of the meeting, Patriarch of Antioch wished the priests, and through them to all his children in all the parishes of Damascus and its countryside, a blessed Holy Great Lenten Journey and glorious seasons full of blessing and divine mercy.
