 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (14:03): The Easter period was a spiritual and significant time for the Christian and Orthodox communities in the north. I am proud to consistently stand with these communities across my electorate. It was my privilege to attend services at Our Lady Guardian of Plants Chaldean Catholic Church, the Syriac Holy Spirit Catholic Church, the Assyrian Church of the East in Coolaroo and St Joseph Melkite Church in Fairfield; to attend Orthodox services at St Aphrem Syrian Orthodox Church in Reservoir, Antiochian Orthodox church in Thornbury and the Ancient Church of the East in Coolaroo; and to spend time with the clergy at Mor Yacoub Syrian Orthodox Church in Craigieburn.
