4514 Meadows Lane, Las Vegas, NV 89107 CERGY He always knew that the life of a priest would not be easy, but he felt God’s call so strongly that he persevered in his studies and formation in order to serve God and His people. A few short years after his ordination, Fr. Reemon came to the United States to start a new life that would be free from the threats and kidnappings he had become so used to in Iraq. His first assignment in the States was in San Diego where he worked as a visiting priest at St. Peter Cathedral. After a short time, His Excellency, Mar Sarhad Y. Jammo assigned him as assistant pastor at Mar Auraha Parish in Arizona. Then, after serving two years in Arizona, he was re-assigned to St. Barbara Parish and is serving there until present.
