THE FORTIETH DAY MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR FR. PAUL KWON

On Sunday, May 28, 2017, the Memorial service of the late Father Paul Kwon was held in the Holy Church of Saint Dionysios, Archbishop of Aegina in Ulsan.

Metropolitan Ambrose of Korea celebrated the Divine Liturgy as well as the Memorial service, assisted by Fr. Romanos Kavchak and Deacon Johan Park.

“Our pain is great because of the loss of our Brother,” said the Metropolitan in his speech, “but there is also great consolation, for we strongly believe that “our brother fell asleep in the Lord and was transferred from death to life.” He concluded by adding that Fr. Paul must be jubilant and he rejoices in Heaven by seeing his spiritual children, who he catechized and baptized, to continue their course in the life of the Church. His Eminence recommended that everyone should pray to God asking Him to send a worthy substitute Priest to take over the work at St. Dionysius Parish.
