The Coptic Orthodox Church Centre in the UK will holds a Memorial Service on Saturday 24 March from 3pm for HH Pope Shenouda III who died on 17 March 2012.

Heads of churches, as well as Ecumenical, inter-religious and Civil representatives have been invited by His Grace Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church Centre in the United Kingdom to attend.

His Grace who travelled to Egypt upon hearing the news, said: “We have been inundated with messages of condolence from many friends across the United Kingdom. It is only fitting to hold this memorial service in order to allow people to join in giving thanks for the life and ministry of His Holiness. It is undoubtedly very sad to farewell a father, yet as a Church, we are confident in the knowledge that our Lord, through the power of His Resurrection that we will celebrate in only a few weeks’ time, promises us life after death, and we join together to pray for His Holiness as he is welcomed into that heavenly promise.”

There is a book of condolence available at The Coptic Orthodox Church Centre for those who would like to show their respects. For more information see: www.CopticCentre.com
