This Church is based in Cagayan de Oro City. This was created after we met the Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East namely: His Holiness Mar Gewargis III of Irbil Iraq with Metropolitan Mar Aprem of India, Synod Secretary Mar Awa of Modesto California and some other Bishops of this Holy Church, namely: the Church of the East.
