New Postulant | Maronite Servants of Christ the Light | Dartmouth, MA

Emily Sharbela Lattouf entered the Maronite Servants of Christ the Light on 19 September at the Convent Chapel of St. Maron. At the end of Ramsho, Monsignor James Root gave a blessing to Emily and Mother Marla Marie presented her with a medal of Our Lady of Lebanon and formally welcomed her into the community. Emily enters religious life from St. Theresa Church in Brockton. Please pray for the young women currently discerning with the Maronite Servants. Your prayers for vocations are appreciated.

“I am so happy to be starting my new life as a Maronite Servant of Christ the Light postulant. Our greatest calling in any vocation is to love. As Saint Teresa of Calcutta says, “the fruit of love is service.” It is with great joy and honor that I start this incredible journey of serving God through serving you.

Growing up in the United States I have seen a need for Maronite religious sisters. I have been attracted to this congregation for quite some time (around seven years). I have enjoyed going on spiritual retreats hosted by the sisters, and volunteering in their various ministries such as the summer Bible camp, visiting the elderly, attending wedding and funeral services and much more. The sisters are involved in the lives of the parishioners and they accompany them in their journey of faith. We laugh, cry and grow with you and with one another. I look forward to serving you and living a life of prayer and service alongside such wonderful sisters.” - Emily
