Maronite Catholics to hold fundraising dinner
Maronite Catholics from the greater New York area and beyond will gather on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the New York Athletic Club in Manhattan for the Sixth Annual Benefit Dinner for the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn. Monir Barakat and Hayat Barakat, who are members of the Maronite community in New York, will be honored at the benefit dinner.
Proceeds from the dinner will be used to educate seminarians, support parishes and missions and assist retired priests in the Eparchy, according to the event’s organizers.
“I invite all of the faithful of the Eparchy, and every person of good will, to attend or support this year’s benefit dinner,” said Bishop Gregory Mansour, the head of the Eparchy.
