Maronite Catholics and friends from the Eparchy of Saint Maron and beyond will gather  at The Union League Club in Manhattan for the Fifteenth Annual Benefit Event for the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn.

This year our honorees will be Bassam and Mirna Ayoub, members of Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral, Brooklyn, NY, and Doctor Charbel Ishak and Doctor Maria Ajaimy, members of St. John Paul II Maronite Parish, Sleepy Hollow, NY.

The evening will begin with a Cocktail Reception with drinks and hors d’oeuvres at 6:00pm, followed by Dinner at 7:30pm.  Individual tickets are $400.  Table sponsorships are available at $5,000, $10,000 and $15,000.  Additional donations are encouraged.  The Internal Revenue Service recognizes the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn as a tax exempt organization.

All charitable contributions made to the Eparchy are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Each year, this annual fall event provides important financial support to educate seminarians, help small parishes and missions, assist retired priests, and foster a variety of ministries of the Eparchy.  Also, each year, a portion of the event’s proceeds have been dedicated to help the Church in Lebanon and the Middle East.

The Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn includes 45 parishes, a Seminary, a Convent, and a Monastery, and the newly acquired Saint Sharbel Spiritual Life Center, and the Maronite faithful in 16 states located along the East Coast of the United States from Maine to Florida.  The Eparchy is under the direct jurisdiction of Pope Francis.
