Dear Parishioners and Friends:
The end of the school year is coming to a quick close.
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.
Heritage Program
There will be First communion Practice on
Saturday, May 2, 2015 beginning at 11:00 am until 1:30 pm.
This is a mandatory rehearsal for all children. the
Communion robes will be given to the children on this date
as well.
We will also meet the following Saturday, May 9,
2015 for rehearsal beginning at 11:00 am until 1:30 pm.

Meetings
Maronite Young Adults
The MYA will meet on Friday, May 1, 2015. We
will meet in the Rectory at 7:30 pm.

May 7, 2015 beginning at 7:00 pm in the Rectory.
Grape Leaves
Parish Festival
Our Parish Festival is just around the corner. 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.
