It is with deep sorrow, yet with firm faith in the Resurrection, that we announce the passing of our beloved brother in Christ, Emile Mourad.
Emile was not just a faithful parishioner — he was truly a pillar of our parish community since the very first day of its foundation. His kind heart, joyful spirit, and unwavering courage touched the lives of everyone around him. He had a way of bringing smiles to faces, lifting hearts with his presence, and showing genuine care for all. His sociable nature and generous love made him dearly loved by all who knew him.
We entrust our brother Emile to the mercy and love of the Risen Lord, who is the Resurrection and the Life.

“God loves us more than a father, mother, friend, or any else could love, and even more than we are able to love ourselves.”
As a Melkite parish, we preserve and worship in the traditional Greek Byzantine way, keeping the history and tradition tied to our faith. Simply put, just as the Lord’s word and scripture stays constant, we too are committed to passing on the tradition of the generations of ancient Christianity that has been passed on to us till this day.
