THE ARCHBISHOP’S APPEAL: At this time of year when we offer thanksgiving for all God’s blessings, Our Lord speaks to us in the Gospel about storing up treasure in Heaven and about being rich in the things of God. Let us give back to the Lord in return for all the blessings he has bestowed upon us. Let us give thanks to God for the precious gift of our Melkite Church and pay a tribute of thanksgiving for the labor and sacrifice of our forebears in the faith who have gone before us. Offer your thanks to God by giving a generous gift to the Archbishop’s Appeal.  Donation envelopes are available in the narthex.  Thank you for your generosity.
