Meetings with Coptic Bishops

Coptic Orphans often meets with various bishops from the Coptic Orthodox Church who support our work. Here’s a miscellany of some of these visits.

“ It is my pleasure to congratulate Coptic Orphans Organization for the new premises, which I hope will be a headquarters for spiritual and welfare of the Coptic child. We remember here all the efforts of the staff and all the beloved working in this organization. Wishing them success and progress to achieve their goal to Glory of the Lord and salvation of souls everywhere. May the will of God be fulfilled in this blessed work.

Again, my thanks to all beloved staff, each individually as I wish them all the blessings of the Holy Virgin together with all the Saints and the prayers of Pope Shenouda the Third.”

August 14, 2003 was a very special day for the staff of Coptic Orphans. His Holiness Pope Shenouda III took time out of his busy schedule to meet with the staff during his visit to Washington DC. He was particularly impressed with the photo of Manga, a child who can now read, thanks to the hard work of the Coptic Orphans Reps in Egypt.

By the Grace of God, Coptic Orphans had the honor of meeting with H.H. POPE SHENOUDA III for the first time, at His residency in Cedar Grove, NJ on Wednesday, August 21, 2002. His Holiness gave Coptic Orphans his blessings and spoke to us about how we are “saving God’s children.” He added, “we appreciate very much what you are doing. Such persons are in great need.” In quoting the midnight praises, H.H. stated to “remember those who have no one to remember them”.

 

Coptic Orphans welcomed a very special guest, H.G. Bishop Youannes, to our home office in Washington DC on Monday, June 3, 2002. His Grace was extremely impressed with our organization and deemed CO "the authority on orphans in Egypt". We would like to thank Anba Youannes for blessing us, supporting us, and praying for the success of our mission to combat poverty among Copts in Egypt.
