(WARREN, MI) — The St. Laba Hasroun Society celebrated their 90th anniversary during an annual brunch at St. Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church in Warren, Michigan on Sunday.

Founded in 1924, the society was created to “connect local Detroit Maronites from Hasroun who share a common love for their village,” says Maurice Farah, president of the group.

Hasroun is located in the Bsharri District of northern Lebanon. It overlooks the southern branch of the Qaddisha valley.

“Hasroun has long been the gateway of charm and glory of Lebanon’s scenic villages,” Farah said. “With God’s blessings, Hasroun will continue to rise through thick and thin and prosper as one of Lebanon’s most beautiful places.”
