ANNUAL LENTEN APPEAL The Annual Lenten Appeal for the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon is now taking place. The Bishop's Annual Appeal is conducted each year during Lent to ask for support for the most urgent needs in the Eparchy. The Eparchy relies upon you to support our Maronite parishes, like ours, and train our future Maronite priests. Every family is asked to participate in the Appeal at a level which is meaningful for them and be generous. You can mail your donation, drop it in the collection basket, or make it online at https://www.stgeorgesa.org/donations/lenten/ Our parish's goal for this year's Appeal is $11,000.00. Please be generous and support your Eparchy. Thank you!
