Marie Eugenie Room
5.00pm-6.30pm
The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III Laham is based in Damascus.
The Patriarch is the leader of the world-wide Melkite Church, which in the
Middle East is mainly concentrated in Lebanon and Syria, although large
communities live outside of the Middle East region, particularly in Europe, the
United States and Canada, and also significant communities in Argentina and
Brazil. Gregory III was elected patriarch on November 29, 2000, and might be
considered one of the most important Christian leaders in Syria, the Middle
East and the Catholic Church.
All welcome
