FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION
THANK YOU ABOUNA
On behalf of the parishioners of St.
John Maron, we all share in expressing our gratitude for your faithful and
loving guidance in making the 2015
Lebanese Festival a success. We don’t
always express our appreciation for
your untiring efforts in making our
parish community a strong one. However, we are all aware that to make a
parish successful requires hard work
and sacrifice. We are grateful for
everything you do to keep St. John
Maron a viable parish. May the grace
of His spirit increase in you each day
as you do the Father’s will. Our
prayers for your health, happiness and
growth in holiness.
