With great joy we announce to you that due to his many years of Godly ministry our beloved Bishop JOSEPH was surprised by being elevated to the dignity of Archbishop by His Beatitude, IGNATIUS IV, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, on December 11, 2011 at the Balamand Monastery in Northern Lebanon. Please pray for him and for the newly consecrated bishops of our Archdiocese, Their Graces, Bishop JOHN, Bishop ANTHONY, and Bishop NICHOLAS. We thank God for His abundant blessings.

Yours in Christ,
