The Maronite Servants
of Christ the Light visited the parish of Our Lady’s Maronite Church in Austin,
Texas on Thursday, October 30th, 2014. Monsignor Don Sawyer, pastor
and several ladies of the parish, welcomed us cordially. On our arrival, Abouna
Don gave us a beautiful tour and history of Our Lady’s, which is detailed, with
several authentic furnishings of the Maronite worship tradition.
On Friday, October 31st,
we were able to visit and spend time with a number of the children of Our
Lady’s Parish who utilize the Church Hall for their home schooling program.
Following our visit
with the children, we were able to pray with a number of parishioners during
their communal Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction, followed by Divine
Liturgy. During Divine Liturgy, Mother Marla Marie addressed the parishioners and
told them about the history and mission of the Maronite Servants of Christ the
Light.
Many thanks to Abouna
Don and the parishioners for making us feel so welcome!
