Statement from Bishop Gregory J. Mansour

“The contribution made by consecrated women in the Church is beyond measure. The Maronite Church is no exception. The time has come for the Eparchy of Saint Maron to foster and sponsor a community to assist the priests in the pastoral care of the Eparchy. Sister Marla Marie Lucas has approval to do just that. She and the Maronite Servants of Christ the Light will begin officially (ad experimentum) this June 2008. Please find below an article on this new beginning.

Events -- Meet Sister Marla Marie

Bishop Gregory Mansour has asked Sister Marla Marie to visit our Maronite parishes to inform and spread the word about this new mission and to encourage vocations. Sister Marla Marie has been able to travel to these locations through the generosity of the pastor and the parish visited. We thank you for your support.
