On July 24th one of our alumni, Simon Saliba, was ordained to the priesthood. He successfully finished our Pre-Master programme, continued his studies at Master’s level, and graduated with a degree in Spiritual Care. Currently he works as a chaplain in several institutions. Mor Polycarpus, archbishop of the Dutch diocese of the Syrian-orthodox Church and a board member of the representative body OZI (‘Orthodoxe Zendende Instantie’), ordained him for the Mor Augin parish in Hengelo. May God bless Father Simon!
