as Fr. Namir Narra was ordained to the priesthood.<br />
A graduate of Sacred Heart Major Seminary,<br />
Father Narra was ordained through the laying on<br />
of hands and the invocation of the Holy Spirit by<br />
the Most Rev. Francis Y. Kalabat, Bishop of St.<br />
Thomas the Apostle Chaldean Catholic Diocese.<br />
Father Narra will serve as parochial vicar at St.<br />
George Chaldean Catholic Church in Shelby Township,<br />
