On Sunday, September 7, 2025, on the occasion of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, Bishop Michel Kassarji, head of the Chaldean Church in Lebanon, celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Cathedral of the Archangel Raphael, assisted by Fathers Raphael Traboulsi and Samir Kourial. The celebration was attended by deacons, nuns, seminarians, and a large number of the faithful. The liturgy was beautifully served by the choirs of St. Thomas and St. Joseph. During the Mass, His Excellency the Bishop conferred the degree of Lectorate (Shammas Rassaili) upon seminarian Nabil Riyad Al-Dalo, in the presence of his father, friends, and loved ones. We warmly congratulate the new deacon on receiving this sacred rank, praying for his continued success and a blessed service in the vineyard of the Lord.
