Notes
Why should we preserve the Syriac language? Fr John Vianney, CMI
Fr. John Vianney, who was ordained in 1964, grew up in the Syriac tradition. He continues to cherish the memories of the Syriac Era. In February 2020 we got an opportunity for conversation when we met at Huntington, New York. I was curious to know what he thought about preserving the Syriac language. Fr. Vianney thinks it important to preserve this language. Our forefathers listened to the voice of God through the Syriac language. Therefore, we should take steps to preserve that language for posterity. In 2018, when Fr. Vianney got an opportunity to celebrate the Sunday Qurbana at St. Jude Syro Malabar Church in Northern Virginia , he started with Puqdankon. The choir knew how to sing the response. See
