Maronite Catholic Church, Lombard, IL, USA

March 18, 2011

 

Dear Friends,

 

It is with gratitude to almighty God the Father and to our Savior Jesus Christ and to the Holy Spirit, that I announced to you the election of His beatitude Mar Bechara Boutros Rahi, bishop of the Maronite diocese of Jbeil, Lebanon, as the 77th Patriarch of Antioch and all the East for the Maronite Catholic Church.

 

His Beatitude has chosen as the motto of his Patriarchal Service: “Communion and Charity.”

 

The enthronement of the New Patriarch will take place at the Church of the Patriarch Residence of Our Lady of Bkerke, Lebanon on Friday the 25th of March 2011 on the Feast of the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary at 5:00 pm.

 

He will celebrate the Divine Liturgy of Thanksgiving on Sunday, March 27th, 2011

 

I ask you all to accompany the New Patriarch in your prayers and fasting during this Great Season of Lent. May almighty God bless us all and may this election of the New Patriarch be for the glory of God, the up building of the Holy Church and for the good of the people.

 

In honor of the New Patriarch and on the occasion of his enthronement a light  reception will follow the  Masses on Sunday, March 27th at OLL Shaker Hall.

 

Please join us in prayers and thanksgiving and I am looking forward seeing you all over the weekend.

 

Sincerely yours,

Chorbishop Alfred Badawi

Our Lady of Lebanon Pastor
