(WARREN, MI) The Lebanese-American Club of Michigan (LACOM) offered their financial support on Friday during the weekly St. Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church Lenten dinner. The church welcomed Bishop Abdullah Elias Zaidan during a formal church visit, which was preceded by the Benediction of the Holy Cross.
Bishop Zaidan talked about forgiveness, a trait that is often overlooked among the political bickering and social quarrels.
“I think (forgiveness) is an important subject in our community. It’s important to forgive each other no matter what the issue is,” said Elias Yammine, the Vice-President of LACOM.
The sponsored dinner featured salad, hummus, fish, rice, pasta, lentil soup, and other Lebanese specialities.
“We sponsored part of the lent dinner tonight and we did offer our help to serve the food, but turns out they already had the Ladies Altar Society helping. But one of our LACOM members, Charlie Kadado, helped serve the food,” Yammine continued.
Bishop Zaidan will leave Michigan on Monday. You can count on LebaneseExaminer.com for continuing coverage of the Bishop’s visit. For more information about St. Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church, click here.
