Following the words of Jesus and the example of Saint Anthony the Great,
we, the Antonine Sisters, leave everything behind to follow God, our sole treasure.
The life that we received from God we give back to Him through service and devotion.
Like Mary, the first consecrated woman, we live joyfully to proclaim the greatness of the Lord
who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Vocation Workshop at the Maronite Convention

Sister Celine Nohra, Sister Cosette Ghanem and Sister Nancy Najjar traveled to Birmingham, Alabama on July the 7th to participate in the 47th Annual Maronite Convention. Chorbishop Richard Saad and the faithful of Saint Elias Maronite Church hosted the convention this year, which was sponsored by NAM as usual. Hundreds of Maronite clergy, religious and lay people gathered to celebrate their faith and spiritual heritage. Spiritual talks, informative workshops and enjoyable trips and activities were scheduled throughout the day from July 7-11. The Sisters were asked to present a workshop on vocations along with Msgr. Sharbel Maroun, the vocation director for the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon, and Sister Marla Marie Lucas of the Maronite Servants of Christ the Light. The presentation focused on how to promote religious vocations in the Maronite Church, through a brief discussion about the importance of vocations in the Catholic Church in general and particularly in the Maronite Church. Common reactions to religious vocations were also discussed, and suggestions on how to promote and support vocations were given to families. To access the full presentation click here.
