New assistants for Maronite Church
Mass was celebrated by Maronite Superior Father Maurice Chidiac, assisted by Father Jean Yammine.
AT the evening Saturday Mass on February 9, seven new assistants were officially received into the Maronite Church of Southern Africa at the parish of Our Lady of Lebanon in Mulbarton.
Assistants perform various tasks, but most importantly they are ministers of the Holy Eucharist.
Mass was celebrated by Maronite Superior Father Maurice Chidiac, assisted by father Jean Yammine. Father Maurice blessed the hands of the assistants with oil. He acknowledged their importance and their commitment as an open display of their faith.
To welcome the new assistants and in remembrance of St Maroun (founder of the Maronites), cake and tea was served after Mass in the foyer.
