Flyer & Registration Information for the MYA Conference Boston, March 25-27

January 17, 2022 Cir. 20.05

Dear Brother Priests, Deacons/ Subdeacons, Consecrated Men and Women,

A blessed feast of Saint Anthony of the Desert!

We are pleased to announce that we have established a Maronite Young Adult (MYA) Eparchial Board to better strengthen and activate our local and regional MYA (ages 18-35). The first MYA Eparchial Conference that the Board is organizing will be held March 25-27th at Our Lady of the Cedars Church in Boston, MA. The goal is to bring our young adults together for prayer, social networking and inspiring presentations. Our theme will focus on Restoration in Christ, taking the Healing of the Paralytic as our point of reflection: “Arise and Walk.” (Mark 1:1-12)

The fee for the Conference is $100 (includes meals, transportation and speakers). About 40 rooms have been blocked at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Boston/Cambridge. There is also discounted parking available at $20/car/night. Please note: the hotel cost ($159/night plus taxes) is not included in the fee and each young adult will need to reserve their own room through this booking link. The booking deadline is March 4th.

Please find below the tentative schedule and flyer attached, which you can share in your announcements, bulletins and on your social media platforms. We appreciate your help in personally inviting and spreading the word with your young adults. This is going to be an amazing weekend for all those present and the Board is very excited to welcome young adults from all of our parishes. To register and to see the payment options for the Conference click on this link.

I look forward to being with our young adults for the weekend. I hope some of our clergy can join us and help with hearing confessions. Thank you for your ministry with our young adults.

Opportunity for education related to authentic women's health and Fertility Care in March 2022

Dear Beloved Women of the Eparchy, Cir. 22.03

Now, more than ever, our world needs authentic women's health and fertility care that are consistent with Church teaching. The primary way towards this is through continuing education for women, couples and medical professionals.

The Gianna Creighton Model Education Program Phase One, a modern, scientific and natural approach to family planning, will be held at the Notre Dame Retreat House in Canandaigua, NY in March of 2022 and April of 2022. Phase Two will be in November 2022.

I hope you will consider this invitation to learn more of this beautiful and faithful approach to the health and well-being of women. Please also share this with friends, family and coworkers.

Program, tuition and curriculum details are available online, and please see the flyer attached. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jamey Hutchinson (email below) .

Sincerely,
Bishop Gregory John Mansour, and the
