Our Maronite Church here in the US is blessed with two new priests: Father Vincent Farhat and Father Tony Massad. Three of us traveled to Michigan last weekend to join our prayers to those of the family and friends of the newly ordained. Father Vincent was ordained at Saint Mary's Cathedral in Lansing and Father Tony at Our Lady of Lebanon Church in Flint. May God bless them both as they begin their priestly ministry and may their holy example be encouraging to other men who are contemplating a call to priesthood.
Also, on Sunday June 27, we joined Msgr. Louis Baz and the Maronite Community in Detroit, Michigan, for the Divine liturgy. That morning, Msgr. Baz celebrated the feast of Saints Peter and Paul. He also congratulated the local and international Maronite community on the beatification of Brother Estephan Nehme, which took place that same day in Kfifan, Lebanon.
