Women's Pastoral Committee in Beirut activated
25-10-2018
The Archbishop of Beirut, Father Boulous Matar, kicked off yesterday the work of the Women’s Pastoral Committee and four sub-committees in the Maronite Diocese of Beirut, Baabda, Mansourieh and Ain Remaneh. The committee chose a motto for its new work plan as follows: ‘wake up young woman’. The launching came during the mass led by Matar at the Church of Our Lady, Hadat, in the presence of mayors, makhatir, pastoral committees and social associations. Matar hailed the role of women in the life of the Church and in society. The work of the pastoral women’s society in the Diocese of Beirut, he said, is blessed, as it is ordained by the Church, reminding that women make half of the global population. Matar reminisced the words of Pope Francis in his latest speech when he said that civilization is measured by nations in terms of the respect and veneration of women. Women have bestowed the church a unique quality for sanctity, through their mercy, tenderness, sacrifice, kindness and the virtue of helping others, he maintained. (Al Diyar, October 25, 2018)
