Saint of the Day │September 5 is the feast of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta is known for her humanitarian work and founding the Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910, was a force of compassion and a beacon of hope for millions. As a Catholic nun and missionary, she took on the world’s most pressing challenge—caring for the forgotten and the suffering. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, launching a global movement to serve the poorest of the poor, the homeless, and those at death’s door. Her tireless dedication and boundless love earned her worldwide admiration, culminating in the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. A true humanitarian icon, she was canonized as a saint in 2016, forever inspiring generations to serve with heart and courage!

Saint Of The Day | September 5 is the feast of Saint Charbel of Edessa (Modern Turkey) .

🌿 Did you know there are TWO Saint Charbels? And one of them has a special connection to Kfarsghab! 🇱🇧🙏

September 5 is the feast day of Saint Charbel of Edessa, an early 2nd-century Syriac Christian saint and martyr who was put to death during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Trajan. Edessa was an ancient city in Mesopotamia, in what is now modern-day Turkey.

But here’s the part of the story that many people don’t know… 👇

⛪ Saint Charbel of Edessa has a church dedicated to him in Kfarsghab, Lebanon.

And this little church holds a remarkable connection to Saint Charbel Makhlouf.

Before he became the beloved Lebanese saint we know today, Youssef Antoun Makhlouf would visit his uncles in Boufa, the village just above Kfarsghab. His uncles—the Chidiac brothers, who were Catholic priests—served at the Church of Saint Charbel of Edessa.

During his visits, Youssef would spend time in prayer at this sacred church. 🙏

It was there, in this humble church in our village of Kfarsghab, that he encountered the name and story of Saint Charbel of Edessa.

Inspired by this early Christian martyr, Youssef Antoun Makhlouf would eventually take the name Charbel—becoming the man we now know as Saint Charbel Makhlouf.

✨ Think about that for a moment:

Saint Charbel Makhlouf took his name from a saint whose church stood in Kfarsghab—a place where he himself came to pray.

So when we celebrate Saint Charbel Makhlouf, there is an incredible piece of Kfarsghab woven into his story. ❤️🇱🇧

It’s a beautiful connection between an ancient Syriac martyr, our village, and one of Lebanon’s most beloved saints.

Saint of the Day │September 4 is the feast of Saint Raymond (Roumanos). He is the patron saint of Hadchit Lebanon.

Saint Roumanos is remembered as a medical doctor and a man of deep Christian faith. He is believed to have lived in the Holy Land, near Jerusalem, during the early centuries of Christianity. His life is associated with caring for the sick and serving others, combining the healing of the body with compassion for the soul.

He is depicted carrying a palm frond, a symbol closely associated with Christian martyrdom, victory, and eternal life.

His feast is celebrated throughout Lebanon, and his connection with Hadchit is especially strong. In Hadchit, the celebration extends throughout the first week of September, bringing together families, parishioners, and the faithful in prayer and celebration.

May we ask for his intercession for all those who are sick, for doctors and healthcare workers, for our families, and for all those in need of healing and strength.

May Saint Roumanos watch over all of us 🙏🏼.
