“MEMORY ETERNAL

His Beatitude, the Most Blessed IGNATIUS IV

Patriarch of Antioch and all the East

It is with extreme sadness that we inform you that our beloved Father in Christ, His Beatitude, Patriarch IGNATIUS IV of Antioch and all the East, fell asleep in the Lord on Wednesday, December 5, 2012. His Eminence, Archbishop JOSEPH has asked the parishes to  remember him in your prayers for the departed for the next 40 days and to hold a special Trisagion for his eternal life. May God receive him in His Heavenly Kingdom and may his memory be eternal.”     The Antiochian Diocese of the West
