Cir.No. 24.66

Dear Brother Priests, Deacons and Subdeacons, Consecrated Men and Women, Lay Faithful

His Beatitude and Emminence, Patriarch Bechara Peter Rahi, has decided to grant the rank of Chorbishop to Father Elie Mikhael.

This follows the appointment by His Holiness Pope Francis of Father Elie as Apostolic Administrator of the vacant See of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon in Mexico.

His ordination to Chorbishop will take place on Friday, August 9, 2024, at 6PM at the Monastery of Saint John Maroun - the Episocal See in Kfarhay - By Bishop Mounir Khairallah, as requested by the Patriarch.

Let us pray together for the new Chorbishop for his service in Mexico.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

+ Gregory John Mansour
