Please find a draft itinerary, as well as a registration form, and a flyer for the upcoming Eparchial pilgrimage for the Jubilee Year. Father Antoine Kairouz is quite good at directing these pilgrimages, and he has put together a full itinerary for 13 days.

It is my sad duty to announce the passing of Deacon John Manhire on Tuesday January 28, 2025, in Bryan, Texas.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mrs. Mary Mazloom, age 94, on Friday, January 31, 2025, with her family by her side. As a faithful parishioner of St. Louis Gonzaga Church, Mary was a devoted member of the St. Mary’s Guild, a former delegate of the National Apostolate of Maronites, a member of the Order of St. Sharbel and volunteer for all church events.

Msgr. Peter and Fr. Armondo invite you to attend the 2025 Maronite Enrichment Days. This event is a two-day seminar focusing on topics related to Syriac theology, spirituality, hagiography, history, and liturgy. Its goal is to enhance the knowledge of both clergy and laity in those areas.

Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has called for a Jubilee Year December 24, 2024, through December 28, 2025. He has asked us to be "pilgrims of hope" during this year and to deepen our personal encounter with Christ. Therefore, with a whole-hearted affirmation, I have decided to embrace the Jubilee Year with the following Eparchial requests of clergy, religious and laity

Attached please find the Ordo for the Divine Office for 2024-2025. We are grateful to Bishop A. Elias Zaidan and to Fr. Michael Shami for their work on this.

Once again, our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in Lebanon; they are enduring their greatest difficulties since the civil war. May our Lord be with Lebanon and her people.

Here below are some safe and good Catholic humanitarian efforts worthy of our help.

We are saddened and concerned to know that Pope Francis continues to be in critical condition. We ask all the faithful, and indeed all persons of faith, to continue to pray for his healing and recovery.

May God bless our beloved Pope Francis and provide him with the strength and grace necessary to continue his work of serving the Catholic Church and the world.

As the Season of Great Lent approaches, we offer new faith formation materials designed to enrich our community's journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. 

These resources can help us deepen our understanding and practice of these core Lenten disciplines.

If you ever are facing something very difficult or something very risky or something very dangerous, this gospel has something hidden, a hidden treasure for you. This gospel is not just a story of little boy teaching elders in the temple. It's a beautiful story of Jesus coming of age, 12 years old.

To help us enter the Season of the Glorious Birth of Our Lord more deeply, the Couples Ministry of the Eparchy of St. Maron of Brooklyn, NY and Bishop Gregory Mansour intend to host a Zoom discussion on the “Announcements Leading to Christmas” on Tuesday, December 3rd from 8:00PM - 9:00PM.

I welcome you to discover the remarkable journey of the Maronite Church—from its monastic roots along the Orontes River in the 5th century to becoming a profound cultural and spiritual bridge between the East and the West. Through centuries of resilience and faith, the Maronites have left an indelible mark on the world, fostering intellectual and cultural exchanges that shaped civilizations.
