In the Catholic Church in the United States, National Vocation Awareness Week is celebrated November 3-9, 2024. It is an annual week-long dedicated to promote vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life through prayer, invitation, education, and to also renew our prayers and support for those who are considering these vocations.
The Eparchy's 2024 Benefit Dinner brought together people from all over to support our Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn. Two lovely couples were honored for their hard work and continued service to our church and community. A portion of the proceeds of the dinner will go to help Lebanon.
The Office of Family and Sanctity of Life is hosting two upcoming events to begin the Eparchy wide Women of Grace initiative. And let us join the millions of Catholics nationally and dedicate our prayer in October for every life from conception until natural death. Our prayers make a difference!
The situation in Lebanon is getting worse each day. Almost every Catholic hospital, care facility, church, monastery, school and home is now a place of refuge for the displaced Christian and Muslim alike.
Pope Francis has called us to pray and fast in a special way on Monday October 7 for world peace.

Is Jesus calling you to Come and See? Are you seeking to learn more about prayer, discerning God’s voice and the gift of religious life. The Maronite Servants of Christ the Light located in Dartmouth MA, invite young adult women (ages 18-39) to prayerfully consider joining them for a Come & See Retreat Weekend
Hearing God’s call in a world where there is so much noise is never easy. Nonetheless, we know there are men in our parishes called to the priesthood. Can we help them hear this call?
Let us discern with them, to the best of our abilities, and put them on the right path. In this way we will be privileged to accompany men who show signs of a vocation to the priesthood, as well as promote the beauty of the priesthood in all that we do.
I am happy to announce that Linda George, coordinator of the Office of Family and Sanctity of Life, is working on an initiative to begin the Women Of Grace program within our parishes. I would like to promote this group in all interested parishes.
The Maronite Servants will be hosting a new Faith Formation Online series starting Thursday September 26 through the Saint Sharbel Spiritual Life Center to help our people to learn more about our unique Maronite History.
There will be three different clergy from the Eparchy of Saint Maron presenting these sessions on three consecutive Thursdays at 8pm.
