.... Western Clergy ....

The Western-born Clergy in the North East U.S.A.  Consists of Melake Tsion Kesis Mahatima Selassie, Melake Selam Kesis Paulos, Mugabe Serate Kesis Saife Selassie, Melake Ganet Kesis Tesfa Eyuesus, and Melake Hayle Kesis Amde Tsion.

​

St. Gabriel's in Orange, NJ.  We fully support each other's ministry and see it as our responsibility to organize the Western-born both Clergy and faithful, into and effective working unit. 

We began meeting on a monthly basis in 2013 and presently continue our communication with a monthly conference call. The Churches we serve are Holy Trinity in Bronx, NY,  St. Michael's in Teanek, NJ and St. Gabriel in Orange, NJ.

We fully support each other's ministry and see it as our responsibility to organize the Western-born both Clergy and faithful, into and effective working unit.

​

We are committed to service and unity among ourselves as examples to the flock, with this in place and evident to all, we the clergy can then encourage, uplift and motivate every member.  Let every member feel needed and special.. Let every member know that he or she is playing and important part in the up keep, maintenance and progress of the Church.  Each member will find their particular position in the Church to fulfill their talent.  Its not just the clergy who make the Church, but every brother, sister and youth member.  The Church is the Mystic Body of Jesus Christ, with Him as the Head.  We then are all part of this body.

​

We the Clergy will always "Feed the Sheep" as our Lord commanded the Apostles..  Thus we should always give hope to the members, strengthen and encourage them, so that they can be their best selves and continue on life's journey; and be empowered to overcome evil by devotion, steadfastness and a penitent life style.  Thus, fulfilling their purpose and be ready for all good works..

​

We are fully under the guidance and supervision of our Archbishop H.E. Abune Zakarias.  May God continue to guide and protect us and Our Holy Lady, Blessed Virgin Saint Mariam , always showing us Her marcy.

​

Please continue to pray for us.
