The parish of Our Lady of the Cedars of Lebanon in Boston, Massachusetts, is mourning the loss of Bishop Roland Aboujaoude. The parishioners formed a deep attachment to Bishop Roland in the 1960’s when he was sent to Boston College to study for his Master’s Degree in Education. At that time, he, and his companion Fr. David Gabriel, were residing in Latin parishes, when Richard Cardinal Cushing asked them if they could possibly serve the Maronites of Boston. Our Pastor, Chorbishop Stephen El Douaihy, had recently passed away after suffering a heart attack rescuing the Holy Eucharist from our burning Church. They accepted the challenge graciously, and the rest is history! The impact of their ministry in our parish lives on today. We are deeply indebted to them for all they taught us through their hands-on, humble, style of diligence and dedication. On Sunday May 26,2019, at eleven o’clock, our parishioners and friends, will gather under the leadership of our beloved Pastor, Monsignor Georges Y. El Khalli, and our Pastor Emeritus, Chorbishop Joseph F. Lahoud, to offer a 40 day Memorial Liturgy for Bishop Roland. We invite everyone to join us to honor his memory. The service will be followed by a Rahme in the church hall. A condolence book will be made available for guests to sign expressing their sympathies to his family. We are most grateful for his presence and service among us, and we are honored to pay tribute to his memory! May he, and all the souls of the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Bishop Roland Aboujaoude 2019.
