The Late Fr. Rewis Magar

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Today marks the one year commemoration of the passing of the late Fr. Rewis Magar. He is survived by his wife and three kids. Abouna Rewis served the altar of St. George Coptic Church of Astoria, New York and is credited for establishing the congregation there. His services are innumerable and a little over two years ago, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III consecrated the church, quite a feat for a small congregation. We pray that God continues to Bless the congregation of St. George Church and grants comfort and healing to his family.
