Message from Chorbishop sharbel Maroun

November 2023

Beloved Parishioners and Friends of St. Maron,

I give thanks to God for all of you every day and at every opportunity, asking the Lord God to fill you with grace and empower you with faith that you may be able to live your vocation faithfully and witness to Christ in this world that needs you as a beacon of light. While we celebrate Thanksgiving in November, our whole life should be a song of Thanksgiving to our generous God who showers us with so much grace and blessings as we thank Him for giving us life and all the gifts we receive daily. If anyone of us starts counting his and her blessings we would run out of time.

God has given us so much more than what we deserve. All he asks of us is to be faithful to him and his love. I thank God for all the members of our parish and for all the parts that make this beautiful one body of St. Maron. A very thanks to those who serve on so many different levels, deacon, subdeacons, altar servers, lectors, choir, organists, ushers, club members, kitchen helpers, chairpersons, and volunteers. Thanks to those who help behind the scenes in the office, and to the ones who help spread the mission of our Parish through our website, social media and other ways. Thanks to those who pray for us especially the homebound. Thanks to those who support our spiritual home spiritually, emotionally, and financially. May the Lord God reward you generously. Please take time today to thank God for your own blessings, and thank him for at least a dozen people who are important in your life and say a prayer for them. I hope that all of you can gather around with your family and loved ones on Thanksgiving and show appreciation and gratitude to one another and together offer Thanksgiving to the Lord for giving you this golden opportunity.

I invite you to support our annual bake sale that is coming up, and to give a hand to the ladies in the preparations. And most importantly to offer a prayer for the members of the St. Anne’s Club who have been faithfully serving our parish for over 95 years. May the Lord God bless them and keep them in the palm of his hands.

Wishing you all a very blessed month that begins with the Feast of All the Saints, hoping that one day you will be among the saints in heaven.

Thanking God for all of you, I remain
Devotedly yours

Chorbishop sharbel Maroun

"The grateful community of Ascension parish wrote to our community: "Thanks so much for the donations of clothing, books, and toys this past December. Many families here on the Northside had a joyful and warm Christmas due to your generosity of spirit and material items! We are grateful for this partnership and the opportunity to steward the abundance that is shared with us."

"For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you clothed me,
I was sick and you visited me,
I was in prison and you came to me"…
"Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the
least of these my brothers, you did it to me."
Matthew 25:34-40
Continue bringing food and items for FOOD
SHELVES and gently-used clothing. If you
have larger items, please call Joan Moses.
Thank you for your generosity!

Adopting a family in Lebanon

Our Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles is aiming to sponsor 250 families in Lebanon. We have the names of 10 families that our parish is aiming to sponsor. The basic cost to support these families is $75 - $100 per family. We have a description of each family. If you are able, and would like to adopt one of these families for the year, please contact the parish office, or email Fr. Sharbel at abouna@stmaron.com
May the Lord God bless you to continue being a blessing to others, and may God help the people of Lebanon who are suffering on all levels in their country.
