August 2022
Beloved Parishioners and Friends of St. Maron's,
Children grades 1-6 will be offered a Bible Camp again this summer August 24-25-26, 2022.
Parents, please make all effort you can to bring your children to these special days as we learn about our faith together.
We can use volunteers for this Bible Camp. You must have the Protect God’s Children training certificate.
Please contact Joannie Moses or Carla Bedros for more information.
Our deepest sympathy and condolences go out to the family of our sister Lanora Ann Sarkis who passed away recently at the age of 80.
Lanora was one of the pillars of our Parish and served in our office for many years.
We pray that the Lord God may grant her rest and peace in His Kingdom and console the hearts of her family and loved ones.
Starting early in April 2022 we will be sending the bulletin by email to our parishioners. This way you will receive the bulletin early before the end of the month and there will be no post office delays.
There are options for viewing the monthly St. Maron bulletin electronically:
Applications for the Duane Nasser Men’s Club Scholarship are now available for children who will be attending K-8 parochial schools. An eligible recipient must be an ACTIVE PARISHIONER for at least one year. Distribution will be based on the income and expenses of the household. If you are
interested, please call the parish office for an application. Ten $500 scholarships will be available for the first ten students who will apply.
Thanks to the Men’s Club for making this scholarship available to support our children. Application must be submitted by September 30th.
We are glad to announce the availability of the John Nasseff Scholarship for high school seniors moving into college.
Ten $1,000 scholarships are available for 10 students who are ACTIVE in our parish for at least one year.
Applications are available in our parish office. We are thankful to the legacy that our late brother John Nasseff established among us. May he rest in peace.
We are very happy to announce that we will be
holding our Annual Festival on the
weekend of September 17-18, 2022.
Please mark your calendar and plan to join us.
We need everyone’s help to make this event a
success.
M/M Laurent and Lily Hage will be chairing this
event this year, but this festival is for all of us.
Following the NAM Convention we will start
planning for this great event. More details are
coming your way soon.
We look forward to seeing everyone and sharing
our rich culture and food with our neighbors.
We extend our thanks and appreciation to Fr. Mansour Ghanem and Seminarians Chris Khattar and Antoine Dagher who spent the last two months among us serving our parish with kindness and diligence. May the Lord bless you and reward you generously. Best of luck on your future endeavors.
Please, continue to pray for all our priests and seminarians who are serving
our churches. The harvest is great but we need more laborers to serve God’s people. Our job is to pray and ask.
For the love of God and Neighbor. Please remember those less fortunate as we clean our closets and enjoy our summer joys. Sharing and Caring Hands could use your gently used items. God bless you all.
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.
Please call office or view calendar in the bulletin for latest schedule
