They hope that the committee would organize more frequent and enlarged meetings and conventions.
2. The Church is an attraction center for our Youth: it works in the parishes to open ourselves to a larger dimension. Yes the Parish, better all Parishes no more my Parish, together all Parishes One Church.
3. Create a contact chain between all groups in all Parishes and enlarge to our other brothers and sisters who could not meet with us this time.

St. Anthony's Maronite ChurchThe Visitation of Mary
May 31Celebrated between the feasts of the Annunciation (March 25) and the Birth of John the Baptist (June 24), the feast of the visitation originated in the Church of the Middle Ages. It recalls Mary's visit to her cousin, Elizabeth, after the angel announced that she was to be the mother of Jesus. Filled with the Holy Spirit, these two great women recognized the power of God at work in their midst. "Blessed are you among women" Elizabeth said, "and blessed is the fruit of your womb." Mary replied:
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices
in God My Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly
servant . From this day, all generations will call me blessed:
The Almighty has done great things for me,
And Holy is his Name.Top of Page
