Tele Lumiere between the Homeland
and the World of Immigration
In Lebanon, the uniting and never dividing country, the citizens and immigrants met
once again in a special event held by Tele Lumiere and Noursat at the residence of the TV
station General Director Jacques Kallassi in Shahtoul in order to strengthen unity and
communication among the Lebanese citizens and immigrants and their Mother Church.
The encounter was attended by the Armenian Catholic Patriarch of Cilicia
Nerses Bedros XIX, the General Patriarchal Vicar and Tele Lumiere Chairman of the
board Bishop Roland Abou Jaoudé, Bishops
Antoine Nabil el-Andari and Guy Boulos Njeim, the members of Tele Lumiere and
Noursat board of directors, the Colombian Ambassador Rida Mariette el-Khoury
Salamé, the 1st President of Beirut Appeals Court Judge Jean Fahed, the Chief of Beirut 1st Regional Detachment Colonel Joseph Kallas, the Director of the National
Agency for Media Mrs. Laure Suleiman Saab, the Head of Caritas Association in
Lebanon Fr. Simon Faddoul in addition to a group of priests and social figures.
Kallassi welcomed his guests and presented the TV activities in Lebanon and the
world of immigration, especially the new special
grid for immigrants that Tele Lumiere has
launched through the 5 continents, its participation
in the Mideast Synod, and the inauguration of Noursat official office in the Vatican.
Kallassi highlighted as well Tele Lumiere’s mission and role in confronting the moral
corruption saying: “The leaders of this world compete with each other to reach glory on earth.
However, we have a mission to achieve; we meet and communicate to glorify the Creator…
Should we remain silent under the pretext that we are firm?”
As for Bishop Roland Abou Jaoudé, H.E. thanked everyone who contributed to the
Media City Project “The most important is to be always united in solidarity. In unity, we find
strength that we need so that Tele Lumiere and Noursat remain the means to spread all
values in Lebanon and all over the world.”
The closing speech was delivered by Patriarch Nerses Bedros XIX, saluting Tele Lumiere’s family of which mission is inspired by the Holy
Spirit. What is happening now in Tele Lumiere is
beyond the human understanding, calculations and
bank accounts.
At the end, and according to the traditions,
everyone went out to the garden to plant a Cedar
tree, as a blessing and memory to each encounter.
Tele Lumiere Programs Director
Marie-Therese Kreidy has already made,
on the sidelines of this meeting, interviews
with the immigrants who expressed their
joy and thanked Tele Lumiere and Noursat that are always looking after them in
the world of immigration.

To Bishop Zayek,
the Man of Words
and Action…
After H. G. traveled to
Cuba, Lebanon, Rome,
Brazil and USA according to
the Jesuit emblem “Faith and
Work”, it is time to say farewell to H.E. Bishop Francis
Zayek, an important figure in
the Maronite Church who
was appointed in 1962 the 1st
bishop of Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Diocese in
Brazil. 6 years later, Bishop
Zayek moved to Washington in 1968 and founded St
Maron Diocese, became the
bishop of Brooklyn Diocese. H.E. founded, till his retirement in 1995, 52 Maronite
parishes in the 52 American
states.
Today, we thank H.E.
for all his achievements around
the world that are a source of
pride to all Christians, and
Maronites particularly.
