New Appointments in the Diocese
Dear Parishioners,
For the good of all our Parishes His Excellency Bishop Antoine-Charbel Tarabay has commenced making some changes in the appointments of the priests.
In this set of new appointments our Parish will see Fr Claude Rizk move to take up a new appointment as Assistant Parish Priest as St Joseph’s Croydon and will see Fr Yuhanna Azize come to Our Lady of Lebanon Parish.
We are sad to loose Fr Claude from our team of priests with his joyful presence and his dedication in his pastoral ministry, celebrating Mass and especially with the sick visits, and as Chaplain for the Fersan and Arabic Language School. We will plan a special farewell Mass next Sunday.
We are very happy to have Fr Yuhanna Azize join the team with his appointment at our Parish to give added focus to faith education and formation in our parish and the Diocese from the community centre for leaders and parishioners generally.
Fr Sam Wehbe has also been appointed as coordinator of St Jo-seph’s Auburn Mass Centre in preparation of the next stages of planning and preparation; please God, of Auburn becoming a new Maronite Parish in the near future.
These appointments are all effective from the 22 June 2014.
Please keep all the priests in your prayers so that the Holy Spirit who descended at Pentecost can strengthen and guide us in His Mission for our Parish and Diocese.
We are asked also to especially keep the Bishop in our prayers as he travels to Lebanon for the Annual Synod of Bishop’s and to pray for the Patriarch and all the Maronite Bishops for this very important time of their meeting to plan and work for the good of our Maronite Church and for the situation in Lebanon and Syria.
