Bishop Robert Shaheen, Bishop Emeritus for the Eparch of Our Lady of Lebanon, passed away in the Lord s loving arms. He served this church for over 50 years and captured the hearts of those who knew him. Bishop Shaheen was the first Maronite priest ordained in the United States in 1964 and became the first American born priest to become a bishop in the United States. He served with passion, love, compassion, and humor. His love for the church was evident and his love for his priests unwavering. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Now he is in the loving arms of God who has greeted him with these words job well done my good and faithful servant. Rest in peace Sayedna. You will be missed! MAY GOD GRANT YOU ETERNAL REST SAYEDNA ROBERT SHAHEEN ST. LOUIS Retired Bishop Robert J. Shaheen, who was the second bishop to head the Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles, died in St. Louis Aug. 9. Bishop Shaheen, who turned 80 June 3, was a native of Danbury, Connecticut, and ordained a priest in He was the first Maronite priest to be ordained in the United States and was assigned as pastor of St. Raymond's Maronite Church, now cathedral, in The parish was founded in 1912 to serve Maronite Catholics primarily of Lebanese and Syrian descent. On Dec. 5, 2000, St. John Paul II named him the second bishop of the Maronite eparchy. He retired in The eparchy, which relocated its headquarters from Los Angeles to St. Louis in 2001, extends across 34 states, ministering to about 46,800 Maronite Catholics from California to Ohio and Michigan to Alabama. "We pray for the repose of his soul, and give thanks to God for all of the lives that Bishop Shaheen has touched in his extraordinary life" said Bishop A. Elias Zaidan, the eparchy's current bishop and successor to Bishop Shaheen.

2 Bishop Shaheen," he said. "Bishop Elias Zaidan and the faithful of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers." When he retired, Bishop Shaheen had called St. Louis home for nearly 47 years; in retirement, he split his time between St. Louis and Danbury. "St. Louis has been part of my life for almost 47 years," said Bishop Shaheen, who was third-generation Lebanese. "It's become my home more than in Connecticut where I was born." He was ordained May 2, 1964, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington by then- Bishop Francis M. Zayek, the founding bishop of the Eparchy of St. Maron of Brooklyn, New York, established in It is the other U.S. Maronite Catholic diocese. In 1967, when he was assigned to be pastor of St. Raymond, then-father Shaheen became the first Maronite priest to serve at St. Raymond in more than 20 years. Largely credited with leading the renewal of the LaSalle Park neighborhood south of downtown St. Louis, the future bishop led the parish through a large capital program including the construction of a new church, rectory, hall and eparchal center over the years of his pastoral ministry. Robert Joseph Shaheen was born to Albert and Aileen Shaheen in Danbury. He attended St. Peter Grammar School and Danbury High School before entering the Latin Church's St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield, Connecticut, in In 1958, he transferred to the Eastern Catholic Church's St. Basil Seminary in Methuen, Massachusetts, while attending classes at St. Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire. When he was named St. Raymond's pastor, the parish had been without a resident priest for over 20 years. Under his leadership, St. Raymond's went from just a few faithful parishioners using a four-family apartment to eventually a cathedral with hundreds of active families. From 1965 to 1970, he organized and celebrated Maronite liturgies on a regular basis. He also developed newsletters, bulletins, and fliers; conducted a census to identify Maronites in the greater metropolitan area; and introduced spiritual and cultural programs, including Maronite religious education classes. He hosted the National Apostolate of Maronites Convention in Kicking-off a fund drive for new church in 1971, he later dedicated a new church in November 1975 and a new rectory in February He was ordained an archpriest in September 1978, and dedicated a new parish center "The Cedars" in November On March 31, 1986, Shaheen was ordained a Chorbishop by Archbishop Zayek. He purchased additional property and buildings for future development as a Maronite retirement center and cultural center in 1991, and again hosted the National Apostolate of Maronites Convention in After he was named to head the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon, he was consecrated a bishop Feb. 15, 2001, at the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica by Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir, then leader of the world's Maronite Catholics.

5 Saint Maron Maronite Catholic Church First Reading Ephesians 3:1-13 A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians. Your blessing father Brothers and Sisters: This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles for surely you have already heard of the commission of God s grace that was given to me for you, and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I wrote above in a few words, a reading of which will enable you to perceive my understanding of the mystery of Christ. In former generations, this mystery was not made known to humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that is, the Gentiles have become fellowheirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Of this gospel, I have become a servant according to the gift of God s grace that was given to me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; so, that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him. I pray therefore that you may not lose heart over my sufferings for you; they are your glory. Praise be to God always. فصل من رسالة القديس بولس إلى أهل أفسس يا إ خو ت ي أ ن ا ب ول س أ س ير الم سيح ي س وع م ن أ ج ل ك م أ ي ه ا األ م م... إ ن ك ن ت م ق د س م ع ت م ب ت د ب ير ن ع م ة هللا ال تي و ه ب ت لي وهو أ ن ي ب و ح ي أ ط ل ع ت على الس ر ك م ا ك ت ب ت إ ل يك م بإ ي ج از م ن ق ب ل ح ين ئ ذ ي م ك ن ك م إ ذ ا ق ر أ ت م ذل ك أ ن م ن أ ج ل ك م ت د ر ك وا ف ه م ي ل س ر الم س يح هذ ا الس ر ال ذي ل م ي ع ر ف ع ن د ب ن ي الب ش ر في األ ج ي ال ال غاب ر ة ك م ا أ ع ل ن اآلن ب الر وح ل ر س ل ه الق د يس ين واأل ن ب ي اء وه و أ ن األ م م ه م في الم س يح ي س وع ش ر ك اء ل ن ا في الم ير اث والج س د والو ع د ب و اس ط ة اإل ن ج يل أل ذي ص ر ت خ اد م ا ل ه ب ح س ب ه ب ة ن ع م ة هللا ال تي و ه ب ت لي ب ف ع ل ق د ر ت ه ي س ت ق صى وه ي الن ع م ة أ ن أ ب ش ر األ م م ب غ ن ى الم س يح ال ذي ال الد ه ور في هللا ال ذي خ ل ق ك ل ش يء أ ص غ ر الق د يس ين ج م يع ا و ه ب ت هذ ه لي أ ن ا ه و ت د ب ير الس ر الم ك ت وم م ن ذ وأ ن أ وض ح ل لج م يع م ا ل ك ي ت ع ر ف اآلن م ن خ الل الك ن يس ة ل د ى الر ئ اس ات والس الط ين في الس م اوات August 19-20, 2017 الو ص و ل هللا الم ت ن و ع ة ق ص د ه األ ز ل ي ال ذي ح ق ق ه في الم س يح ي س وع ر ب ن ا ال ذي ل ن ا فيه أ ي ب اإل ي م ان ب ه ح ك م ة ب ح س ب ب ج ر أ ة وث ق ة إ لى هللا. ل ذ ل ك أ س أ ل ك م أ ن ال ت ض ع ف ع ز ي م ت ك م ب س ب ب الض يق ات ال تي أ ع ان يه ا م ن أ ج ل ك م: إ ن ه ا م ج د ل ك م! والتسبيح هلل دائما.
6 Gospel Reading Saint Matthew 15:21-28 The Apostle Writes: Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon. Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon. But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us. He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But she came and knelt before him, saying, Lord, help me. He answered, It is not fair to take the children s food and throw it to the dogs. She said, Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters table. Then Jesus answered her, Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish. And her daughter was healed instantly. This is the truth. Peace be with you. الق د يس إنجيل من ص ور وص ي دا وإ ذ ا ب ٱم ر أ ة ك ن ع ان ي ة م ن ت ل ك الن واحي خ ر ج ت ت ص ر خ وت ق ول: إن ص ر ف ي س وع إ لى ن واح ي "إ ر ح م ني ي ا ر ب ي ا ٱب ن د او د! إ ن ٱب ن ت ي ب ه ا ش ي ط ان ي ع ذ ب ه ا ج د ا". ف ل م ي ج ب ه ا ب ك ل م ة. ود ن ا ت الم يذ ه ف أ خ ذ وا!". ف أ ج اب وق ال: " ل م إ ل ي ه ق ائ لين: " ت ص ر خ في إ ث ر ن ا أ ر س ل إ ال إ لى الخ ر اف الض ال ة إ ص ر ف ه ا ف إ ن ه ا ي ت و س ل ون إ س ر ائ يل ". أ م ا ف أ ت ت وس ج د ت ل ه وق ال ت : "س اع د ن ي ي ا ر ب!". ف أ ج اب وق ال: "ال ي ح س ن أ ن ي ؤ خ ذ م ن ه ي ب ي ت خ ب ز الب ن ين وي ل ق ى إ لى ج ر اء الك الب!". فق ال ت : "ن ع م ي ا ر ب! وج ر اء الك الب أ ي ض ا ت أ ك ل م ن الف ت ات الم ت س اق ط ع ن م ائ د ة أ ر ب اب ه ا". مت ى ت ل ك الس اع ة ش ف ي ت ٱب ن ت ه ا. حق ا واألمان لجميعكم. ح ين ئ ذ أ ج اب ي س وع وق ال ل ه ا: "أي ت ه ا ٱلم ر أ ة ع ظ ي م إ ي م ان ك! ف ل ي ك ن ل ك ك م ا ت ريد ين". و م ن
