Beloved Parishioners and Friends of St. Maron's,
Peace and love to all of you with the hope that you are well with your family and loved ones.
As we celebrate Father’s Day this month, we give thanks to God for
the gift of fatherhood.
Gratitude and glory go to our Heavenly Father for sending His Only
Son our Lord Jesus to save us from sin and give us a new life. I would
like to thank all fathers for their gift of love and dedication to their
families. We pray that Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus our Lord, may be an
inspiration and a model to guide them in leading their families to Jesus' heart, and to be
their protector and a shining light to lead them to a deep relationship with Jesus our Lord.
Children honor your father and mother and pray for them that they may carry their vocation
in a spirit of love and holiness.
On Sunday June 11th we will be having the 18th Northeast Eucharistic Procession. This
Eucharistic Procession started in our community 18 years ago and it has grown through the
grace of God. The procession with hundreds of people will begin at Holy Cross and we will
walk to seven churches and will end up in our hall for refreshment. I highly encourage you
and your family to join us on June 11 at 3pm as we honor and worship our Lord and witness
to him with faith and hope. The church in the United States is called all of us to a Eucharistic
Revival. This is the best way to show our love and commitment to Jesus our Lord and God.
Please come with your family and friends and join us for this holy walk.
For our youth who are preparing themselves to go to the National Conference in Canton
Ohio, we offer our prayers and support and hope that they will come back refreshed and
rejuvenated. For those who will be attending the National Maronite Convention (NAM) in
Providence, Rhode Island, we wish them also joy and happiness at this very special event.
As many of you prepare to go on your summer vacation domestically or internationally we
send our warmest wishes and prayers asking the Lord God to bless you abundantly. Travel
safe and may you find joy and peace with your loved ones. Please keep in mind your
brothers and sisters in Minnesota and keep them in your prayers.
May the Lord Guide you and protect you with every step you take in your life.
Devotedly yours,
Chorbishop sharbel Maroun
Pastor
