Humanitarian Leader to visit Mokena Church, Discuss Religious Persecution

Humanitarian activist Juliana Taimoorazy, founder and president of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council, will visit Saint Mary Parish in Mokena on June 27th to speak about the religious and ethnic cleansing being inflicted on Christians in Iraq by terror groups like ISIS.

A native of Iran and an Assyrian Christian, Taimoorazy moved to the United States as a refugee in 1990 to escape religious persecution in her home country.

After earning her Master’s degree from Northeastern Illinois University in 2000, Taimoorazy founded the Iraqi Christian Relief Council in 2006, an organization dedicated to providing desperately needed food, shelter and medicine to thousands of displaced Christians throughout Iraq.

In addition to raising awareness of the current humanitarian crisis faced by Christians in Iraq, Taimoorazy will encourage financial and spiritual support for the victims. She has previously spread her message on various radio and television outlets including FOX NEWS, NewsmaxTV and EWTN.

The free event will take place on Monday, June 27th at 7:00 pm in the Church hall at Saint Mary Mokena and is open to the public. Attendees can enter at the lower level through door number one.
