Attached please find the Lenten message of our Patriarch. Wishing you all a blessed Lent.

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

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.

Pope Francis has shown the world the face of that Merciful Father by every word and gesture of his Pontificate. He has taught us that we are all welcome in the Father’s house. May our Holy Father now enjoy that embrace of our Heavenly Father, and may he rest in peace.

Bishop Gregory asks that we pray that our beloved Patriarch may soon return to his extraordinary service to the Maronite Church in the fullness of health.

With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. A shepherd of compassion, humility, and profound faith, he returned to the Father this morning.

May his soul rest in the peace of Christ whom he served so faithfully.

The Saint Sharbel Center invites the women in our Eparchy to our first Annual Flourish Women’s Retreat on April 25-26.

The story of John Paul George, son of Derek and Annette George (of our parish in Tequesta, Florida), is an inspiring story. John Paul died at 23, having been born with “half-a-heart”, and having lived a life of extraordinary goodness.

Watch Bishop Gregory’s beautiful reflection on Passion week — Great Friday and Saturday of the Light in particular.

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.
