Maronite Heritage Centre Re-opening at OLOL on Sunday 7 th May 2017

I would like to thank everyone who attended the solemn Mass celebrated by Sayedneh on Sunday 7th of May 2017 at 11.00AM with Cardinal Leonardo Sandri and many other clergy.

This Mass was held during the Cardinal’s historic visit to Australia, accompanied by the Nuncio Apostolico Adolfo Tito Yllana and the Cardinal’s delegation from Rome.

After the Mass, Cardinal Sandri attended the occasion of the re-opening of the Maronite Heritage Centre that was relocated from St Maroun in Redfern to OLOL Harris Park,

proudly sponsored by the Maronite Catholic Society Australia.

I was honoured as the President of the MCS to take this task that was requested by Sayedneh, and approved by the majority of MCS members to re-locate, preserve, and showcase our heritage, our faith, our history and our traditions as Maronites in Australia.

This project is part of our important mission as Maronites and MCS members, to preserve our heritage and to spread our faith, culture and message amongst others; to teach our younger generations about our significant history and Maroniteness; and to support our Church and community in all such relevant activities. Your input, help and support are essential, and being a member of the MCS is a privilege that comes with great responsibilities towards our Eparchy and our community
Regards
