Earlier this evening I traveled to St Anthony of the Desert Maronite Church (Fall River, MA) where we served the Melkite Divine Liturgy served by Bishop François Beyrouti, Bishop of Diocese of Newton for the Melkite Catholic Church in the United States and the local Melkite clergy. The Liturgy highlighted the presence of a relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis –soon to be canonized– who had the mission for Eucharistic revival. The organizers also curated 150 panels of the Eucharistic miracles around the world.

New bishop of the US Melkites
Today, the Melkite Patriarch enthroned Bishop François (Beyrouti), 51, as the new eparchial bishop for the Eparchy of Newton at the Annunciation Cathedral in West Roxbury, MA. His motto is Becoming Disciples, Making Disciples.
Bishop François was ordained bishop last Wednesday, October 12, at the co-cathedral of St Ann in Los Angeles by Patriarch Joseph, Bishop Nicholas and Archbishop Borys Gudziak.
After 11 years of service as bishop of the Eparchy of Newton, Bishop Nicholas retires. He’s served the eparchy with great interest, prayer, pastoral insight and a pastor’s heart.
Prayers for Bishop Francois and the eparchy!
