We are anticipating our young people going to their prom and preparing for graduation. I am very aware of all the demands that are on all of our youth. However, some of it is not necessary. We bring it on ourselves. Having said that I am aware of only one from our Community of Faith who is applying for the NAM scholarship as well as the scholarship from the Knights of Saint Maron. Please do not wait until the last minute. We also have many things to do around the Church. The Office at the Cathedral is busy Monday through Friday. I am willing to write recommendation letters for our young people but I cannot do everything last minute. Deadlines are approaching so I ask all of our young people to apply as soon as possible so that I may have the appropriate time to write a proper letter for our young people. i do not use a form letter. Each letter is unique to each participant. Please apply this week. My next request is for those planning on getting married in Lebanon. If you are planning to be married in the very near future in Lebanon you must come and see me as soon as possible. Lebanon requires a "Free State" to be married. This form must be filled out at the Cathedral office and the sent to the Chancery for an official document. This does not happen overnight. Since Chorbishop Thomas is now working 85% of the time from Florida, we need at least three weeks to have the papers returned to us. So please see me or call my office for additional information. I am here to assist you in any way I can. Unfortunately, I am not a miracle worker so I need your cooperation.

We will have a very important meeting today following the Divine Liturgy. I am especially concerned about the early morning set up and time start. Last year our late start hurt us in many ways. Therefore, we need as many men of the parish as possible. Sponsorships We are looking for help in bringing in donations from the outside in the form of sponsorships for the Festival. We are not looking for individuals from the parish but rather outside businesses. If you can help us in this matter we would greatly appreciate it. Dabke Troupe Denise Abou Chrouch is working on the Dabke Troupe for the Festival. She definitely has a group of the children and a group from the teenage girls. If there are any young adult men and women interested please see Denise after the Divine Liturgy at the Coffee Hour. Also, if anyone has the time and the talent to help us in making costumes for the Dance Troupe or if you know where we may purchase them inexpensively please let us know.
