Congratulations to all congregation With the grace of God, On Sunday, May 23, 2010, at Saint Mark Cathedral in Cairo, Egypt, His Holiness Pope Shenounda III ordained the reader Maher Bishara, now Fr. John Bishara, as a priest to serve Saint Anthony Coptic Orthodox Church in South Jersey, NJ. Participating in the ordination was His Grace Bishop David and our beloved Fr. Rafail Guirguis. Our new priest Fr. John Bishara will travel to the Monastery of Saint Pishoy or El Baramos in Wadi El Natroun region, Egypt to spend his forty days and God willing will return to the US to begin his service at St. Anthony Church on Sunday July 4th. May God bless his service for the Glory of His Name.

The Coptic Church is one of the most ancient churches in the world. Saint Mark, the writer of the second Gospel, founded The Coptic Church in the name of Jesus Christ around 44 AD. Throughout the past two thousand years, the Coptic Church has contributed greatly to the Christian faith.
