Chaldean priest pays personal tribute to slain Archbishop

Baghdad Hope carries a series of reports and tributes about Archbishop Faraj. There is an account of a memorial Mass held on Saturday for the eastern Church community in Rome. The chief celebrant was Mgr Philip Najim, Chaldean Procurator to the Holy See. The homily was delivered by Father Amer Najman Youkhanna, a student at the Pontifical Irish College, but also a priest of the Archdiocese of Mosul. Mgr Rahho was not only his bishop but also his pastor. Fr Amer describes him as "one of the main influences that made me discover my vocation to the priesthood."
