A Blessed Visit and a Joyful Milestone at Our Lady of Zeitoun
With great joy and reverence, we welcome the Annual Pastoral Visit of His Grace Bishop David to Our Lady of Zeitoun Church this Sunday, April 19, 2026.
This visit is a special blessing for our church family — a time of spiritual renewal, guidance, and unity. In the presence of our beloved shepherd, we gather as one body in Christ, strengthened through prayer, the Divine Liturgy, and the grace of the Holy Spirit.
This year’s visit is especially meaningful as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of the purchase of St. Mary Christian Center and the founding of Our Lady of Zeitoun Church. Over the past decade, God has worked mightily in this place, establishing a vibrant and faithful community rooted in Orthodox tradition and love.
During this blessed day, we will also witness deacon ordinations and rank elevations — a beautiful reminder that the Church continues to grow, serve, and raise up faithful servants for the altar.
In addition, we celebrate the grand opening of the Three Saintly Youth Lounge, a step forward in nurturing the spiritual lives of our youth and providing them with a place to grow in fellowship, faith, and purpose.
This day is not only a celebration of the past, but a renewal of our commitment to Christ and His Church. We give thanks for all that has been accomplished and look forward with hope to what God will continue to do among us.
All are welcome to join in this joyful and blessed occasion.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” (Psalm 133:1)
