MYO Meeting
On Friday, May 9, the Maronite Servants
of Christ the Light hosted the monthly MYO gathering for the teens of the Our
Lady of Purgatory Parish at the Mother of Light Convent in Dartmouth.
The theme of the night’s discussion was
sacrificial love, based on the movie, Frozen.
This movie portrays a number of Christian themes, such as love for the other,
persevering trust, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. The teens entered into a good discussion with
a focus on how to best identify and demonstrate true love in our lives.
Maronite Faith Formation – New Bedford
On Saturday, May 10, the Maronite
Servants of Christ the Light offered Maronite Faith Formation (MFF) for the
children of the Our Lady of Purgatory Parish in New Bedford.
The theme was on the season of the Glorious
Resurrection, and our Maronite devotion to the Blessed Mother during May. The
children did a craft creating the resurrection scene, followed by a decade of
the rosary and May Crowning. We concluded
with a celebration enjoying games, pizza and cake.
Ramsho and Supper with Bishop &
Priests
On Sunday, May 11, the Maronite Servants
of Christ the Light hosted their monthly Ramsho and Supper at the Mother of
Light Convent and were blessed with the presence of his Excellency, Bishop
Gregory J. Mansour, Chorbishop Joseph Kaddo, pastor of St. Anthony of the
Desert in Fall River, and Fr. Jack Morrison, pastor of Our Lady of Purgatory in
New Bedford, and several parishioners from our Boston and Brockton parishes.
Ramsho (Maronite Evening Prayer) was for mothers
on Mother’s Day and led by our priests, followed by a picnic with lots of
fellowship and sharing.
The Maronite Servants extend their
warmest wishes to all mothers with a prayer that Jesus and his Blessed Mother
will shower blessings upon them. Thank you for all you do for us!
