No. Prot.: 86/2025
Date: 9/7/2025
To His Holiness Mar Awa III,
Catholicos-Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East
“Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:21).
We have just received the news of the passing away of His Beatitude the late Mar Aprem Mooken, Metropolitan-Emeritus of the Archdiocese of India and Patriarchal Delegate of the Assyrian Church of the East.
We are writing to express our sincere condolences, on behalf of the Holy Synod and all our Syriac Catholic Church, to Your Holiness, the bishops, clergy and faithful of the Assyrian Church of the East, for the loss of the late Metropolitan-Emeritus, who had devoutly served his Church and earned respect and appreciation among the leaders of the Churches of India; and now is seeking the reward of the good servant in the Father's house.
May his memory be kept forever!
Ignatius Youssef III YOUNAN
Patriarch of Antioch for Syriac Catholic Church
