August 8, 2020The day that Beirut was rocked by a terrible explosion, August 4, Archbishop Lépine sent a message of sympathy to Eparch Paul-Marwan Tabet, the Eparchial Bishop of the Maronite Catholics in Canada https://bit.ly/LetterLebanon
As a sign of solidarity with our Lebanese brothers and sisters, pastors are invited to offer a special prayer intention during Sunday Masses and to draw attention to the various ways we can show our solidarity, such as contributing to the Development and Peace Emergency Fund for Lebanon (https://www.devp.org/en), to Aid to the Church in Need (http://acn-canada.org/) and to CNEWA Canada (https://cnewa.org/ca).
