H.H. Pope Tawadros II received, at the Papal Headquarters in Cairo, a group of youth and servants from the Diocese of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia. The group was accompanied by Father Andrew Mahrous and Father Markos Rophael, and they had come to provide educational and awareness services at several churches in Egypt.

His Holiness expressed his appreciation for the enthusiasm of the youth and their willingness to serve. He encouraged them to repeat such visits and spoke to them about the rich history of Egypt and the heritage of the Coptic Orthodox Church.

This service visit was organized through the “HIGH” Office, which is responsible for coordinating service activities between the dioceses of the diaspora and areas in need throughout Egypt. The office was established by a decision of the Holy Synod in March 2024 and carries the name HIGH, an abbreviation for: “Hands in God’s Hand.”
