A Joyous Occasion
Consecration of the Altar

            On May 24, 2008, Mar Sarhad Yawsip Jammo consecrated the altar at St. Barbara church in Las Vegas. In attendance were Mar Bawai Soro, many priests of the diocese, deacons, and hundreds of faithful from Las Vegas and elsewhere. After the ceremony, there was a beautiful banquet to commemorate the joyous occasion. Congratulations to Fr. Andrawis Toma, the new pastor, and the faithful of St. Barbara Church.
