Dear Friend in Christ, I would like to ask you to consider helping Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Seminary. The Seminary is located near Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. Since its establishment in 1961, over 80 men who graduated from the Seminary have been ordained priests to serve throughout the United States, including two bishops.
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has called for a Jubilee Year December 24, 2024, through December 28, 2025. He has asked us to be "pilgrims of hope" during this year and to deepen our personal encounter with Christ. Therefore, with a whole-hearted affirmation, I have decided to embrace the Jubilee Year with the following Eparchial requests of clergy, religious and laity
Once again, our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in Lebanon; they are enduring their greatest difficulties since the civil war. May our Lord be with Lebanon and her people.
Here below are some safe and good Catholic humanitarian efforts worthy of our help.
Attached you will find our 2025 Eparchial liturgical desk calendar. The Sunday and Holy Day observances, as well as the commemoration of Feast Days of the Saints, are faithfully taken from the official 2025 Maronite liturgical calendar prepared each year by the Patriarchal Liturgical Commission in Lebanon.
