Message from Chorbishop sharbel Maroun

Chorbishop sharbel Maroun

Beloved Parishioners and Friends of Saint Maron,


Warm greetings with love from your spiritual home.

I pray that the spirit of Christmas may continue to fill your hearts and homes with joy and
peace. Christmas is not a day or a season but a journey of life as Jesus continues to dwell within
us to give life to grace in us. All that we can do as human is to pause and meditate on this great
Mystery of God becoming one of us in order to raise us up to Himself. Through the manger we
see Calvary and our salvation and we receive the call to go out and share the Good News with all the people that  we meet. 

I, from my side, send you my prayers and love asking our Lord and Savior to shower his choicest blessings upon you
and to grant you abundant graces. As we open a New Year, I urge you to renew yourself in Christ and to make it a
holier and more grace-filled year. Although we close the Jubilee Year of PILGRIMS OF HOPE on January the 6th, we
continue to focus on Hope who is Jesus our God.

I take the opportunity to warmly thank all those who have offered me prayers and good wishes during this holy
season. I am most grateful to you! I thank from the bottom of my heart all the dedicated parishioners who use
themselves unselfishly to serve our altar and our community by using their time, talents and treasures to make a
difference and to strengthen our parish. Not to attend or support our parish or working for the building of our
community is an action to weaken it. So Big Thanks to all who work to keep it strong and thriving. May you conƟnue
to grow in faith and hope.

I, from my side, pledge my prayers and love to all of you. As I enfold another beautiful year with you I will use each
day that God gives me with energy to serve you. I thank especially Fr. George, Subdeacon Gabe and Subdeacon
James for their beautiful service on the altar and for manifesting God’s love.

This January 6th, I will be celebrating my 37th Anniversary of Priesthood. I thank God daily for every blessing that
He bestows upon me, unworthy as I am. I thank Him for allowing me to spend all, except 7 months of these years, in
this beautiful community of Saint Maron. All of you have made my vocation a very fruitful one and added so much
joy and blessings to my ministry.

I hope that the New Year will bring to us more and more blessings and excitements and give spiritual prosperity and
growth to our parish. May you experience more peace and may you be surrounded by friends who will help you
grow in faith and love. May you become richer spiritually and become closer to Jesus and know and love him more
as he loves you and desires to be closer to you. Pray for your fellow parishioners and remember me in your prayers
as well.

With thanksgiving and gratitude to all of you, I remain

Devotedly yours,
Chorbishop sharbel Maroun

Help the Needy - Talitha Cumi

God blesses those who come to the aid of the poor and rebukes those who turn away from them: "Give to him who begs from you, do not refuse him who would borrow from you"; "you received without pay, give without pay." It is by what they have done for the poor that Jesus Christ will recognize his chosen ones. When "the poor have the good news preached to them," it is the sign of Christ's presence.

Continue bringing food and items for FOOD SHELVES and gently-used clothing, household supplies (paper goods, cleaning items), new baby items (diapers, clothing, formula, food, blankets, etc.), and new school supplies. Let’s bring throughout winter. Jackets, mittens, scarves, socks, hats and boots also if you have them to share.

Whatever gets unused in your closets can be deeply appreciated and well-used by the needy. For any large items to donate, please contact Joannie Moses.

Thank you for your generosity!
