Life

[edit]

Saba was ordained as a priest on 3 March 1898. On 29 November 1903 he received a simultaneous appointment as auxiliary bishop in Alexandria, Egypt and Titular Bishop of Palmyra, Syria. Patriarch Cyril VIII Geha of Antioch consecrated him on the same day to the bishop. His co-consecrators were Archbishop Gaudenzio Bonfigli, OFM (Titular Bishop of Cabasa and Apostolic Delegate of Egypt) and Bishop Joseph Dumani, BS from Tripoli, Lebanon.

On 25 June 1919 Saba was appointed Archbishop of Aleppo, which he remained until his death.[2]
