What Are You Thankful For This Thanksgiving?
The Chaldean News’
Jennifer Korail visited
St. Joseph Church in
Troy to ask what
parishioners are most
thankful for this year.
As friends, relatives
and colleagues filled
the pews for each
service with smiles and
friendly faces, is was
no surprise that thanks
were focused on God
and family.
“I am thankful for having a healthy family
and people around us who care.”
— Shanell Elias, with sister Rashell Elias
and cousin Rana Elias
“We are thankful for God, thankful every
single day that we are here, that we have
the strength to be here to help people in
our community.”

Giselle.”

keeps us safe and close to good
things in life.”

“
This year, I am most thankful for the
faith here at our church, that people
continue to keep their faith and come
to the church and participate with
each other. We see the many things
that are happening around the world,
the war in Iraq, the natural disasters
that are occurring, and we pray for
them always to be safe and to keep
their faith. I am thankful that we maintain
our faith in the church and in
”
each other.
