We would like to notify you of the repose of the soul of Marie Nammour.

Marie was the loving mother of Ramona Bou-Mitri and her husband, Mounir; Sub-Deacon Antoine Nammour and his wife, Hitaf; Elie Nammour and his wife, Yolla; and Eliane Yammine and her husband, Elias. She was a cherished grandmother to 12 grandchildren and was blessed to see her family grow to include 12 great-grandchildren.

As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn, I would like to invite you to join me in a special weekend of prayer and thanksgiving on October 10 and 11, 2026.

As we prepare to enter the month of October, I invite all our parishes to observe Respect Life Month in a special way. October provides us with an opportunity to renew our commitment to the dignity and sacredness of every human life, from conception to natural death, and to bring this intention before the Lord in our prayers and liturgies.

Attached you will find our 2027 Eparchial liturgical desk calendar. The Sunday and Holy Day observances, as well as the commemoration of Feast Days of the Saints, are faithfully taken from the official Maronite liturgical calendar prepared each year by the Patriarchal Liturgical Commission in Lebanon.

Bishop Gregory invites us to join him in giving thanks to God for the fruitful mission of Tele Lumiere/Noursat and Caritas Lebanon, and for the many ways both of these ministries continue to serve the Church and the people of the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon, bringing the light of the Gospel, hope, and support to those who need it most.

Our sixth annual MYA Eparchial Conference will be held October 16-18th at Our Lady of Lebanon in Miami, FL. We thank Fr. Manuel and the Our Lady of Lebanon Parish for their generosity and for opening their doors to host our MYA from around the country for a fruitful conference weekend.

The goal of the Children's Rosary is to support the prayer lives of children and to help them grow in holiness through regular prayer of the Rosary in prayer groups that meet in parishes or schools. These are not isolated groups but they join a tapestry of prayer.

He also shares about his journey to the priesthood, and how biology and reason support the Church’s teaching on human life.
