The clergy of the Chaldean Catholic Diocese of St. Peter the Apostle gathered at the Diocesan Bishopric on Wednesday and Thursday, April 17-18, 2013. The biannual meetings are a wonderful opportunity for the clergy to discuss Diocesan, parish, and Liturgical matters. Along with its practical uses, the clergy meetings are also a great way for the clergy to gather as brothers and enjoy one another’s company.

Sixteen priests from three vicariates were present at the meetings. They were joined by His Excellency, Mar Sarhad Yawsip Jammo as well as Mar Bawai Soro. St. Peter Diocese is blessed to have such an abundance of clergy serving its faithful.
