Ordination<br />

On July 1, the Chaldean community gathered at<br />

Mother of God Cathedral in Southfield, Michigan,<br />

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 />
