Media Clarification from the Office of the Maronite Bishop‏

The Maronite Eparchy of Australia refers to certain articles in the media which inaccurately state that Bishop Antoine-Charbel Tarabay attended the wedding ceremony of Mr George Bitar-Ghanem, Consul General of Lebanon, to Ms Bahia Abou Hamad. In the interest of journalistic accuracy, we wish to clarify that Bishop Tarabay did not attend and did not bless the wedding ceremony but congratulated the couple as a social duty, in preparation for their sacramental Church wedding.
Kindly note the clarification.
With thanks for your constant support,
Kind Regards,
Office of the Maronite Bishop
