December 17, 2006 : The Elevation of Fr. Demetrios Makoul to the Holy Priesthood

On December 17, 2006, Fr. Demetrios “Joshua” Makoul was elevated from the Diaconate to the Holy Priesthood at the church of St. George in Allentown, Pennsylvania. His Grace, Bishop THOMAS, was the presiding hierarch who layed his hands on Father Demetrios during the Divine Liturgy and prayed that the Holy Spirit would come down upon him and bless him. Bishop THOMAS also joined us for the beautiful festivities in honor of Father Demetrios. Bishop THOMAS was the keynote speaker and addressed the life of service to Christ and the priorities of the priest. V. Rev. Anthony Sabbagh, pastor of St. George, spoke eloquently about a priest’s life. From the parish of St. George Allentown, we say AXIOS! MUSTAHEK! HE IS WORTHY! May God grant him many years to labor in His vineyard.
