Here’s a sneak peek at just some of the activities being planned… with more to be announced shortly!

(Dinner plans are flexible, depending on attendees).
Depart the Omni at 5:30pm to arrive on time for a short intro to the Maronite Church, followed by Mass at 6:30pm. Enjoy delicious Lebanese food and socializing afterward!
