The Melkite Catholic SOPHIA Summer 2016 Journal Is Out - And It Rocks!

Bishop Nicholas J. Samra has been doing a wonderful job with bringing richness to the articles and photos in SOPHIA, The [Quarterly] Journal of the Eparchy of Newton for Melkite Catholics in the United States. A sense of cohesiveness is present, not only in the material, but in the community of Melkite persons it serves.
