Mission Outreach in
Orange, CA
The Maronite Servants of Christ the Light were invited by
Father Tony Bakh, pastor of St. John Maron parish in Orange, CA to give a family
and MYO retreat from Friday evening
October 18 until the following evening Saturday, October 19.
Mother Marla Marie on the Friday evening gave an interactive
and visual presentation to the adults and youth on Mary, Fatima and the Rosary.
The following day she continued with the adults on the theme of “Coming Home to
God the Father” using the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Sister Therese Maria
facilitated the MYO program for the weekend and began Friday evening with fun icebreakers
and a pro-life movie October Baby. After
the movie the teens had a fruitful discussion on key themes such as the
sanctity and dignity of every human life beginning in the womb, the gift of
good friendships vs. bad friendships, jealousy, living purity and deepening
one’s prayer life with Mary as our model.
Saturday evening concluded with Divine Liturgy, adoration
and confession.
Also during the week the Sisters visited the homebound and
had an event with the MYA.
