The Coptic Catholic Patriarch inaugurated the Pope Saint John Paul II Hall and held a pastoral meeting in Hadayek al-Kobba, the Catholic Church in Egypt said.
The Catholic Church in Egypt said on 14 November 2026 that Patriarch Anba Ibrahim Isaac, Patriarch of Alexandria of the Coptic Catholics, celebrated the Divine Liturgy for the Feast of the Archangel Michael at his church in Hadayek al-Kobba.
The Patriarch called on everyone to emulate the love, holiness, and mercy of God, the church said. The Patriarch emphasized that the strength of faith does not stem from the challenges surrounding man, but from relying on God and maintaining a constant connection with Him as the source of strength and stability amidst life's obstacles and the conflicts witnessed by the world, according to the church.
Following the Divine Liturgy, the Patriarch inaugurated the Pope Saint John Paul II Hall, the church said. Celebrations continued with a pastoral meeting attended by the sons and daughters of the catechism, which included spiritual hymns and a documentary film presentation about the history of the parish and the priests who served there. The film also provided an overview of the Archangel Michael, his status, and his role in the journey of God's people, the church said.
The day concluded with an open dialogue between the Patriarch and the youth of the parish, providing them an opportunity to express their ideas and pose questions, the church said.
