On this blessed day, we joyfully extend our warmest congratulations and heartfelt prayers as you celebrate your birthday!
As you continue your episcopal ministry among us, we thank the Lord for the gift of your presence in our Eparchy. Your prayerful leadership, your sincere love for God’s people, and your pastoral attentiveness have been a source of encouragement, unity, and renewed spiritual energy for all of us.
Your example of faithful service inspires us to grow in holiness, to strengthen our parishes, and to live our Christian calling with deeper devotion. Through your words, actions, and fatherly guidance, you have helped us encounter Christ more closely and walk with greater hope and confidence on the path of salvation.
May the Almighty God grant you many years filled with good health, peace, and the joy that comes from serving His Holy Church. May the Mother of God keep you beneath her loving protection, and may St. Michael the Archangel guard and guide you in every step of your mission.
Be assured of our continued prayers for you—may the Holy Spirit always strengthen and enlighten you as you shepherd the faithful of our Eparchy.
With gratitude and prayers,
The Clergy and Faithful of the Eparchy of New Westminster
