Prayer of Saint Sharbel

Oh Lord, who has bestowed on Saint Sharbel the grace of faith, I plead to you to grant me through his intercession that divine grace to live according to your commandments.

Oh, Saint Sharbel pray for me

To everyone who helped with the 61st National Apostolate of Maronites Convention with heartfelt gratitude we thank each and every of you for your generous contributions! 

The convention was a tremendous success because of the dedication, service, and teamwork of all our volunteers. Words can hardly express how deeply we appreciate the time, energy, and love you shared to help bring this special gathering to life.

We offer a special and sincere thank-you to our Convention Planning Committee. For nearly two years, committee members met regularly, planned thoughtfully, and devoted countless hours to ensuring that every detail was carefully considered. Your commitment, teamwork, and love for the Maronite community made an extraordinary difference, and we are profoundly grateful for your leadership and perseverance.

To our remarkable convention volunteers, we extend a heartfelt and resounding thank-you. Whether you helped with advertising and promotions, entertainment, food preparation, liturgy, logistics, planning activities, setup & cleanup, transportation, or any other part of the event, your service mattered. Because of your generosity, care, and dedication, we were able to share a truly meaningful and memorable convention.

We are also deeply grateful to all who contributed to the commemorative book through advertisements and support. Your participation helped make the publication a meaningful reflection of our community and our shared celebration. We also thank the Ad Book Committee for their phenomenal work in creating a beautiful keepsake that is truly a work of art.

To our generous donors and sponsors, including those who donated to the auction and those who provided displays and exhibits, thank you for your kindness and support. Each contribution, large or small, played an essential role in the success of the convention. Your generosity helped strengthen the spirit of the event and made a lasting impact on our community.

Finally, to everyone who attended and celebrated with us, thank you for being part of this joyful occasion. Your smiles, laughter, enthusiasm, and fellowship brought the convention to life. The happiness and spirit you shared were the greatest rewards of all, and those moments will be remembered and cherished for years to come. With grateful hearts, we thank you for helping make the 61st National Apostolate of Maronites Convention such a wonderful success.

Support Evangilization in the Middle East

“Let your light shine before others.” Said our Lord.

Tele Lumiere and Noursat, like many other institutions in Lebanon and the Middle East, is suffering tremendously and in danger of shutting down if it is not supported.

Very few parishes in the USA, of all Middle Eastern traditions, are supporting it. True there are millions living in poverty in the Middle East and we need to help them, but there are more millions living in darkness and need the message of hope and salvation. It is our responsibility to evangelize them.

We urge you in Christ’s name to help support Noursat. Here are few brotherly suggestions:

Talk about Noursat’s role of evangelization in the Middle East.
Announce this weekend the two-days Telethon. Share on your social media the attached video and flier about the Telethon.
Include in your weekly/monthly bulletin the attached flier about supporting Noursat.

God entrusted Noursat into our hands, let us unite our hands and hearts to keep it shinning.

With prayers and thanksgiving.
Chorbishop sharbel Maroun
President of Noursat, USA
