Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Please join me on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, for the 16th Annual Benefit Dinner for the Eparchy of Saint Maron. This year's Benefit Dinner will be held at The Metropolitan Club in Manhattan where we will honor the significant contributions of Roukos and Tacla Jacobs, Rita Makhlouf Kanaan, and Roger Shammas.

Each fall, this cherished tradition brings together friends and supporters of the Eparchy of Saint Maron to provide essential financial assistance for our ministries. Proceeds from this year's Benefit Dinner will:

Support the education of our seminarians
Assist small parishes and missions
Aid our retired priests
Strengthen the Eparchy's various ministries

As always, a portion of the proceeds will also benefit the Church in Lebanon snd the Middle East.

Your participation - whether by attending the dinner, bidding in the silent auction, placing an ad in the program booklet, or making a donation - will have a significant impact in strengthening our Church's mission, both locally and abroad.

To register or make a gift, please click on a Donate button below.

l also invite you to consider joining the Order of Saint Sharbel, a special initiative supporting the formation of our seminarians. May God bless you for your continued generosity!

Gratefully yours in Christ,
+ Gregory lohn Mansour
Bishop of the Eparchy of Saint Maron
