Shlomo Lkhoolkhoon,

I am forwarding the message below to all people on my e-mail list to make sure the most impact is made. Please send it to all of your friends who are Christian and Middle Eastern. Many of them do not know that they are Maronite even if they are active in the Roman Church.

Beloved in Christ,

In honor of our ancestors I urge you to respond to the following appeal:


In order to better serve Maronites in the USA, the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon is asking us to participate in a census.


There must be close to a million Maronites in the United States, but only a little over 100,000 are registered in our parishes. We need to include EVERYONE, even those who live in areas where there is no Maronite church or who are attending other local churches. By the Church Law, they are Maronites, no matter where they have been baptized or married. You can help a great deal in registering yourself or other friends.

The information collected will only be used by the Eparchy to better understand the distribution of Maronites in the USA and be aware of Maronites in areas with no Maronite leadership presence.

Please visit the Census website to fill out the form at

www.maronitecensus.net You can also access the form at our Saint Maron Church website at www.stmaron.com


Please, fee free to forward this e-mail to friends and relatives who live in the USA.

Thank you for your help and support.

In Christ’s Love,

Fr. sharbel
