On the
morning of Sunday, December
17, 2006, Bp. Sarhad Yawsip
Jammo consecrated the new
altar at St. Paul Church in
North Hollywood, CA and
celebrated Mass for the
community there. The church
building was remodeled to
make it more fit in accord
with the traditions of the
Chaldean Church, by
specifying a place for
shamashe and choir, and by
adding a veil for the
sanctuary. After Mass there
was a luncheon for the
community, where the people
gathered to express their
joy, and donors for the
project were publicly
thanked and given plaques.
