Lebanon, its population, its institutions, and its existence are in imminent danger.
Despite this, so many families epitomise humility and perseverance. Their silence was enough to bring anyone to tears, as do their words of love and thanks, especially for the people of Australia, who are helping them continue to feed and clothe their children.
This is particularly with thanks to the generosity of our Australian Maronite communities through the Lebanese Family Appeal.
Please keep our homeland and its people in your continued prayer. You can also help by supporting our Eparchy’s Lebanese Family Appeal.
Sponsoring a Lebanese family in need for fifty dollars a month or $600 per year helps provide basic necessities.

The crisis that Lebanon is experiencing today is unprecedented in its modern history. The average family can no longer afford basic needs let alone their children’s school fees. Consequently, schools are struggling to fulfil their educational mission.
Our homeland, once famous for producing an educated and skilled workforce now has an entire generation missing out on adequate schooling.
This is why we have launched the Lebanese School Appeal in collaboration with Maronites on Mission.
Your donations will directly go towards paying the school fees of students in need, in schools at risk of closure.
*Donations above $2 are generally tax deductible.
With your support, our schools will continue educating a promising generations, able to change and rebuild the homeland that we carry in our hearts and prayers.

Lord,
your word promises that you will refresh the weary, your truth nourishes our hearts, and your love revitalises us when circumstances threaten to dry out our faith.
Lord,
saturate us with your presence, pour your peace into every fibre of our being until we radiate with resilience.
We praise you.
In Jesus’s name,
Amen.
