A Special Message from Deacon George Karam

Dear Abouna Habib,

On behalf of our entire parish community, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your years of dedicated service and spiritual guidance. Your leadership and compassion have profoundly impacted our church family, and while we are saddened to see you go, we wish you every blessing in your next chapter.

At the same time, we are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Father Joe Daccache. We are excited to begin this new journey with him and look forward to the unique gifts and vision he will bring to our congregation. Please know that our prayers and support are with both of you during this time of transition.

In faith and gratitude,

Deacon George Karam and the parishioners of St. Rafka Maronite Church, Lakewood, CO.
