Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese leaders lament death of Metropolitan Philip Saliba

Funeral plans detailed

MetropolitanPhilipSalibaPlease, read the following urgent message from His Beautitude Patriarch JOHN X and the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese in North America regarding the falling asleep of His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP.  It includes special info, as well as funeral services and viewing info.  There are 3 important attachments to read.

Letter to Archbishop Joseph about Metropolitan Philip Death (English, 2014)

Ziyad Taste of the Middle East

Original Arabic Documents from the Patriarch About Metropolitan PHILIP Death (3-20-14)

Patriarchal Decision About Metropolitan PHILIP Death (English)

Dear Brothers in Christ:

I communicate with you with a heavy heart as we struggle with the news of the falling asleep in Christ of Metropolitan PHILIP.  May his Memory be Eternal!

I send this email with the blessing of Archbishop JOSEPH.

His Beatitude Patriarch JOHN X has told us that he intends to be with us for the funeral and the Sunday Divine Liturgy.

1.        Attached you will find two letters from His Beatitude Patriarch JOHN X, both the Arabic original and an English translation.

Both Letters  appoint Metropolitan SILOUAN of Buenos Aires and all Argentina as the

Patriarchal Vicar until such time as a new Metropolitan is elected by the Holy Synod of Antioch.

The Patriarchal Vicar is responsible for the administration of the Archdiocese until a new Metropolitan is elected.

Archbishop JOSEPH will serve as the Locum Tenens of the Archdiocese.

Archbishop JOSEPH will arrive on Friday March 21, and  Metropolitan SILOUAN will arrive on Monday March 24.

2.       Effective immediately and until the election of a new Metropolitan, all clergy of this Archdiocese are instructed to commemorate His Beatitude JOHN, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East during divine services

as follows: Great Entrance “Our father and Patriarch JOHN and our bishop (name), the Lord God remember them in His Kingdom always now and ever and unto ages of ages”

Also during the Great Entrance, the first name that is commemorated among the departed will be His Eminence Metropolitan Philip as follows “Our father and Metropolitan Philip”.

The remembrance of Metropolitan PHILIP will be done for 40 days which ends on Sunday April 27.

For the Great Ektenia “Our father and Patriarch JOHN and our bishop (name), for the venerable priesthood, etc.”.  After the Megalynarion “Among the first be mindful O Lord of our Father and Patriarch JOHN,

and our bishop (name),whom do thou grant unto thy holy churches etc.”

3.       The schedule for all events associated with the falling asleep of Metropolitan PHILIP is as follows (please note that purple vestments are to be worn for all services)

You will shortly receive a schedule of services with the clergy who are designated to serve at each one.
