The next priest is Abouna Firas' grandfather, Abouna Stephanos (Stephen) Khoury Diab, with his wife, Abouna Firas' grandmother, and thier daughter-in-law, Abouna Firas' mother. About 1983, the Latin Catholic Abouna / priest was given a video camera. He is learning how to use the camera. From the mid 1930s to 1985, Abouna Stephanos (Stephen) Khoury Diab was the pastor of St. George Parish. For about fifty years, he was a faithful village priest to his people.
