Mar Moussa Monastery & Town

St. Charles parish is happy to support the agricultural projects of the Maronite (Lebanese Rite) Catholic Mar Moussa Monastery and town in the mountains of Lebanon. Their projects provide financial security to the monks and to the families of the town in the context of a dire economic situation. Click through the gallery below to see more:

Back in May, we made an extraordinary $8,000 parish charitable gift to the people of the town surrounding the Mar Moussa (St. Moses) Monastery in Lebanon, helping them fund the development project of a new pork production facility and store, benefitting the whole town and many families.

As winter approaches, the priests of Mar Moussa have appealed to us once more to help needy families pay for heat. To that end, we are drawing on parish discretionary gifts funds to make an extraordinary donation of $7,000, which will help 50 families have heat in their homes this winter ($140/family).
