A Warm Welcome to Fr. Gregory and Family

On behalf of the Executive Board and our entire parish family, we give thanks to God as we joyfully welcome Rev. Fr. Gregory J. Abdalah, DMin., and his family to St. John of Damascus Antiochian Orthodox Church.

This is a moment 34 years in the making — the arrival of our first new pastor in over three decades. We recognize God’s hand in guiding Fr. Gregory to shepherd our parish and we are filled with gratitude for the warmth, wisdom, and leadership he brings to this new chapter in the life of our Church community.

To Fr. Greg and his family: thank you for answering God’s call and for making St. John’s your new home. We look forward to growing together in faith, love, and service.

May God grant you many years!

In Christ,
Mark Haddad
Executive Board Chairman, St. John of Damascus Church
