Our brothers and sisters in Lebanon are suffering after the explosion in the capital of Beirut that has caused much death and destruction. Please pray for Lebanon and her people, asking for the intercession of Our Lady of Lebanon, patroness of the country, as well as St. Sharbel, her native son, to help preserve the people of that great land.
The Maronite Catholic Church is distributing charitable assistance to those in need through Caritas Lebanon and the St. Vincent de Paul Societies, which are located all over Lebanon. Donations can be made by check, payable to the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn and mailed to 109 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11201, or on their website at stmaron.org/how-you-can-help.
