Chorbishop sharbel Maroun

Beloved Parishioners of Saint Maron,


Peace and love to you from your spiritual home.

We send you our prayers and best wishes and hope that you are in the best of health with your loved ones.

Habemus Papam. We have a Pope. We rejoice with the whole world on the happy news of the election of the new Vicar of Christ Pope Leo XIV. An American who speaks with a Midwest accent. What a great gift! A man of faith, prayer, humility and dedication to Christ. Throughout his life Father, Bishop, Cardinal Robert Prevost was an advocate for the poor of the world. Now in his new mission as shepherd and leader of the 1.4 billion Catholics, may he bring them more comfort, dignity and peace. No doubt that he will play a great role in bringing a special spirit to the human family and build bridges with all religions. And for sure he will be a beacon light for the American Catholic and non-Catholic churches. The Pope needs our intensive prayers to carry his mission and to lead the Church in holiness.

As we celebrate Father’s Day this month, we extend our love and best wishes to all the fathers in our parish, asking the Lord through the intercession of Saint Joseph to bless you all and to fill you with wisdom so that you may live your vocation faithfully and be a true model of holiness and love to your children. Children, honor your parents and show extra love to your fathers at this special time of the year.

One of the special events we have been holding for 20 years in Northeast Minneapolis is the holy walk (Pilgrimage) that will take place this year on the Feast of Pentecost, June 8. Join us with your family, especially as we celebrate the Jubilee year of PILGRIMS OF HOPE. May we bring extra hope to Northeast Minneapolis and far beyond.

I am so proud of all the graduates in our parish. We wish them all the success in their future endeavors. Hats off for your accomplishments. The bright future is all yours.

Please, take time to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation, for life is beautiful but short.

I assure you of my prayers and I beg you to pray for me.

Wishing you God’s choicest blessings, I remain,
Devotedly yours,
Abouna sharbel Maroun
Pastor

Congratulations Pope Leo the XIV

2025 Jubilee Year of "Pilgrims of Hope"

The Jubilee Year is a time of grace, mercy, and renewal. It is a time to open wide the doors of our hearts to Christ, to draw closer to him in every way, and to let the Holy Spirit transform us into faithful disciples.

Get Your Anniversary Papal Blessing

It has been a tradition in our parish to honor all active couples who are celebrating their 25th or 50th wedding anniversary. If you were married in another country or different church, we will not have record of your date. So, please let Abouna sharbel know at least 4 months to order the decree from Rome. May God bless all married couples.


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!
