Celebrating Our 2025 Graduates 🎓

On a joyful Sunday in June, Debre Menkrat St. Emmanuel and St. Rufael Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church gathered to celebrate and bless the 2025 graduates of our youth ministry. With heartfelt prayers, songs, and spiritual words of encouragement, our parish family honored high school and college graduates for their dedication, perseverance, and faith. Surrounded by clergy, parents, and the congregation, each graduate received a special blessing to guide them in the next chapter of life. As they go forward into new academic and professional journeys, we pray they remain rooted in Christ, carrying with them the values of service, humility, and hope. Congratulations to our beloved graduates — you make us proud!
