Office of Vocations
Join us in welcoming the newly appointed Vocations Director for our Eparchy, Fr. Christopher Nahra. He and the Office of Vocations will walk with men and women as they prayerfully discern God’s call in their lives to the Priesthood and Religious Life. May the Lord bless their efforts as they prepare the next generation of men and women for ministry in the Church through mentorship, formation, and prayer. Let us pray for more vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life.

"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”
Hearing God’s call in a world where there is so much noise is never easy. Nonetheless, we know there are men in our parishes called to the priesthood. Can we help them hear this call? Let us increase our efforts to discern with them, to the best of our abilities, and put them on the right path. In this way we will be privileged to accompany men who show signs of a vocation to the priesthood, as well as promote the beauty of the priesthood in all that we do. The Office of Vocations of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon and the Eparchy of Saint Maron, will be holding a discernment weekend from Friday November 6th to Sunday November 8th at the Maronite Seminary, in Washington DC. If you know of anyone discerning a vocation to the priesthood, or would like to know more, please email the Seminary at: Maroniteseminary@comcast.net. Participants will be able to experience a weekend in the life of a seminarian by joining us for Liturgy, Adoration, meals, prayers and hanging out. This weekend is a great opportunity for them to come and see what a weekend in the life of a seminarian is like!
