New Syriac bishop wants to make Canada home for faithful

Syriac Catholic Bishop Paulos Antoine Nassif poses for a photograph Jan. 26 at the Syriac Catholic Archbishopric in Beirut. Nassif, ordained Jan. 23, will lead the first apostolic exarchate for Syriac Catholics living in Canada, with the jurisdiction based in Montreal and Laval, Que.

MONTREAL - Canada’s first Syriac Catholic bishop says his immediate challenge is to minister to refugees from the Middle East and at the same time move forward with plans for evangelization in his vast new Canadian diocese as he prepares for the demands of the Easter season.
