Its importance

 

For the first time in decades, the Maronite family, widespread around the world, will gather around the Patriarch, head of the Maronite church, symbol of its unity and representative of all clergy, priests, nuns and laity.

Its goals

- To discover the Maronite heritage and traditions to consolidate the Maronite identity.

- To perform the required renewal in the ecclesiastical life. - To confirm the unity of the Maronite church in the patriarchal territory and in the countries of expansion and its commitment toward its regional issues where it exists. - A call for hope and adherence to faith and holding on to the message conveyed to all faithful despite their concerns.

How do we participate?

- By praying: to recite the special prayer of the synod - By renewing our faith in following Christ and observing His Ways and Teachings. - By expressing the ideas and suggestions concerning the subjects of discussion and submitting them to the Secretary General of the Synod.
