Many Years to the Hamelat El-Teeb - 10/07/07
On Sunday, June 7, 2007, our Hamelat El-Teeb (Myrrh-Bearing Women Society) celebrated their 90th anniversary. Rather than a big event, they chose to go out to lunch and spend the afternoon together. Since their beginnings, they have been the backbone of our Cathedral and we pray for eternal memory to those who have gone to their rest and many years to those living members who continue to carry the torch for the next generation.
