Submitted by SK Hikmat Michel Dandan
St. Joseph Syriac Council

In front of their St. Joseph Syriac Church on Lakeshore Mississauga, under the rain, full of faith, members of St. Joseph Syriac Council held the signs of their first Life Chain. The Grand Knight SK Raad Bakose who is also a deacon prayed in Arabic for the UNBORN while all the other members recited the verses as well. The Program Director Zaid Rassam, supported by Faith Director Fadi Binno & Life Director Bassam Gago planned the event with Campaign Life Coalition. St. Joseph Syriac Council 17309 was awarded STAR AWARD in their first year. The council was chartered on August 15th, the Feast of the Assumption. This holy day marks the occasion of the Holy Virgin Mary's bodily ascent to heaven at the end of her life. The Syriac Christians in Iraq still speak Aramaic, the language of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
