Saint Shmouni and her seven sons are venerated on August 1 in the Maronite Church. She lived 170 years before Christ. Martyred for not renouncing their Jewish faith, Shmouni encourages her sons to uphold their faith in God, they endured suffering for their faith.
This is week six of our lockdown and we remain unable to attend our Parish, but our domestic Church is alive and well! Today in Maronite Church across the world we will celebrate the feast of the 350 martyrs. We remain thankful that we live in a place that is safe and where we are free to practice our faith.
The Three Hundred and Fifty Martyrs - Disciples of Saint Maroun (July 31)
Friends, especially those in Sydney, it is important that we keep each other safe now. Age and vulnerability does not make lives worth any less or more disposal. The elderly and vulnerable are the crowns and joys of our households. None of us want to see them sick with COVID and we all remain at risk no matter what age we are.
Western Sydney and South Western Sydney you remain in our prayers today!
#Freedom
