Father Ephram is the newly ordained and appointed priest of Saint Elias Church. He began serving the church in late June / early July 2010.
Having previously been a lawyer in his country in Jordan, Middle East, Father Ephram chose to follow his calling to study Theology and become a priest.
With the blessing of God he came to Australia early 2010 and was ordained priest by Metropolitan Archbishop Paul Saliba and assigned parish priest of St Elias Church Wollongong.
We pray that God blesses him in his mission of the priesthood.
