(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.”

(STERLING HEIGHTS, MI) — St. Laba Hasroun Society members gathered at Ike’s Restaurant to welcome Father Roby Zibara from Hasroun, Lebanon on Sunday.

“Father Roby, whom I personally know from when I was a little kid in Hasroun, has been on a special assignment to serve our parish for the last 4 weeks,” said Maurice Farah, president of the organization.

Father Zibara was ordained in 2008 from Hasroun. He was most recently in Rome, working on his PhD in fundamental theology.

“It was a great pleasure having him in our community. We are looking forward having him over again in the future. He can count on this society to be his extended family here in the US,” Farah said.
