CAIRO - 25 September 2018: Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria and Patriarch of St. Mark Diocese on Monday inaugurated a service building at the Church of Saint Mark in New Jersey.

The Pope met Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop and local officials on the sidelines of the opening ceremony, spokesman for the Coptic Orthodox Church Polis Halim said in a statement.

The ceremony witnessed the Ordination of five priests, added the spokesman.

The pontiff is currently paying a several- week pastoral visit to the United States.

This is his second visit to the US. The pope's first visit to the US was in 2015. He then visited the southern part of the US and attended celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the consecration of the south US diocese.
