On Sunday December 14th, Avalon Surrey Funeral Home was invited to attend the holy mass at St. George Coptic Church.

The mass was held in a local elementary school's gym, due to a devastating fire in 2021 that completely destroyed their 70-year-old church in Surrey.



Since this tragedy, their congregation has been renting various facilities for their gatherings and events.

Reconstruction of their sanctuary will indeed take a long time, but the cheer from children and energy from youth assured me that it will definitely happen soon.

I felt super grateful donating this $10,000 cheque by Arbor Memorial Foundation for this project. The entire congregation thanked us with tears and applause.



The following YouTube shares their sorrow and hope after the tragedy:

Thank you again Arbor Memorial for this very meaningful donation to St. George Coptic Church.
