Welcoming
New Maronites to the Catholic Church
Cody Shidell and Angela Chan received all three
Mysteries of Initiation (baptism, chrismation and eucharist) on Saturday May 30th
at Our Lady of Purgatory, New Bedford celebrated during the vigil Liturgy
by Father Jack Morrison, pastor.
Both candidates were regular attendees at
Mother of Light Convent, receiving their catechetical formation and preparation
from Mother Marla Marie. Cody said the
weekly classes “helped me to have a
deeper understanding of the faith and have helped me to get closer to God with
a life full of prayer”. Angela added, “the
classes led me spiritually, and Mother Marla was there to guide me mentally and
spiritually through the process.”
