2007 H.H. Mar Dinkha IV Consecration
14 Oct 2007

The St. George Parish of the Assyrian Church of the East in Melbourne commemorated and celebrated the Sacerdotal Jubilee and the 31st Anniversary of Patriarchal Consecration of His Holiness Mar Dinkha IV, Catholicos Patriarch on the 14th of October.

Taking part in the evening of celebrations were more than 400 members of the Parish and Assyrian community who joined in an evening of fellowship undertaking this momentous anniversary. Throughout the evening the sons and daughters of the Melbourne Parish enjoyed a program which included bible readings, historical and educational speeches delivered by Parish youth, a drama, songs delivered by the Parish choir as well as songs, Church hymns and readings from students of the St. George Assyrian Language School. The evening proved to be a great success where the sons and daughters of the Church embraced the opportunity to lay tribute to the Holy Father of the Church. The tireless work of His Holiness and the spirit of humility and love with which His Holiness has done this work was aptly commemorated.

The St. George Parish of the Assyrian Church of the East takes this opportunity to wish His Holiness a blessed anniversary and we hope and pray that the St. Peter of our Times is guided during His continued journey on the path of Christ, maintaining the true and legitimate Apostolic Succession in the Church of the East.
