10th Anniversary Open House

Maronite Servants Celebrate 10 Years – Open House
By Sr. Natalie Sayde Salameh, MSCL
The Maronite Servants of Christ the Light hosted an Open House on Saturday, September 8 from 2:00PM to 5:00PM in celebration of our 10 Year Anniversary. September 8 also happens to be the Feast of the Birthday of the Blessed Mother. In attendance were Bishop Gregory Mansour, our Maronite Bishop and Bishop Nicholas Samra of the Melkite Church. 
The Sisters were pleased to welcome over 70 guests to our convent in Dartmouth for a presentation on the blessings of the last 10 years, a tour of our basement, which is undergoing complete remodeling and refurbishment, refreshments, and the cutting of an anniversary cake. 
Our guests were first introduced to our Chapel of Saint Maron, and then proceeded to the sunroom, which was set up as a display area featuring a video, and powerpoint presentation, featuring some of the blessings of the last 10 years. Sr. Therese Maria also explained our basement project with before and after shots.  After this, our guests were taken on a tour of the basement by Sr. Natalie Sayde and were shown the current progress of the project and what still needs to be done. 

Dedicated volunteers served refreshments in our outdoor area where our friends could sit back and enjoy each other’s company. Both Mother Marla Marie and Bishop Gregory Mansour gave short presentations on the beauty of our Community and our charism as spiritual mothers, and how God has been working with us, in us and through us in the last 10 years.
