With hearts filled with gratitude, love, and respect, the Fathers, the servants and the parishioners of St Anthony and St Paul Coptic Orthodox Church warmly congratulate our beloved father, Fr Tadros Simon, on the blessed occasion of his 53rd anniversary of priesthood.

For more than five decades, you have faithfully answered Christ’s call, serving His Holy Church with humility, steadfastness, compassion, and a fatherly heart. Your priesthood has been a living witness to the words of our Lord: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”

We thank you for every sacrifice you have made, every burden you have carried, every prayer you have lifted up, and every trial you have endured for the sake of your congregation and for the love of Christ. Through your service, guidance, patience, and spiritual care, you have strengthened generations of faithful people and brought many closer to our Lord Jesus Christ.

May God grant you continued health, peace, joy, and spiritual strength. May He reward your faithful labour abundantly, preserve you for us for many more blessed years, and grant you the heavenly crown prepared for those who serve Him with a sincere and loving heart.

Congratulations, beloved Fr Tadros, on 53 blessed years of priesthood.
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you, strengthen you, and keep you in His service always.

With love, gratitude, and prayers,
The Fathers , the committee, the servants and the Parishioners of St Anthony and St Paul Coptic Orthodox Church
