Dear Brother Priests, Deacons/Subdeacons, Consecrated Men and Women:
This weekend I received the sad news of the passing of Suzanne Wakim, the mother of Fr. Rodolph Wakim, who died in Lebanon Saturday, January 3, 2026. She was preceded in death by her husband, Wakim el-Khoury Boutros Wakim, and her son, Oscar Wakim Wakim. Her funeral will take place at St. Sassine Church in Beit-Mery, Lebanon, on Tuesday, January 6th, 2026.
Condolences can be sent to Fr. Rodolph Wakim at his parish Saint Stephen Mission: P.O. Box 49021, Charlotte, NC 28277. Fr. Rodolph has taken extraordinary and loving care of both parents and his brother. May they all rest in peace.
On behalf of the Eparchy of Saint Maron, Clergy, Religious and Laity, we extend to Fr. Rodolph and his family our condolences, and promise of prayer.
May Suzanne rest in God’s peace.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
+ Gregory
