PICTORIAL DIRECTORY
We are in the process of creating a new directory
for St. George parishioners. We have reserved
eight days in May to take these pictures: (May 10-
14, May 17-19). You may schedule your appoint-
ment after all weekend liturgies, by calling the
church office, or online: https://www.securedata-
trans14.com/ap/stgeorgemaronitecatholic/
index.php?page=10. If you cannot make any of
the photo sessions, you can send high resolution
pictures to be included in the directory. The photo
sessions will include hours during the day, night,
and Saturday. We encourage full participation by
all parishioners. A complete and updated directo-
ry is invaluable to all—especially to our new pa-
rishioners. Our directory won't be complete with-
out you! Sign up today!
FOOD & CLOTHING DRIVE
We will continue to collect food, clothing/
shoes and baby product items to donate to
local charities. All items will be collected on
the last Sunday of the month.
PARISH MEETING There will be a parish meeting on Friday May
20, 2016 at 7:00 PM at the church. If you have
any items that you like to discuss at the meeting,
please contact Fr. Charles, Jose Fernandez, Bren-
dan George, George Chebib or Regina Aune.
Please save the date and make plans to attend.

A special thank you to Cecilia Herrara, who
joined us on the trip to Lourdes and Fatima, and
who donated an altar cloth for St. George in

apparition of the Virgin Mary in Fatima.
