Pope Francis appoints Father Pierre Najm as 'General Head' of the Mariamite Maronite Order

The Catholic Media Center circulated Saturday a statement issued by the Secretariat of the Mariamite Maronite Order, in which it indicated that following the resignation of Abbot Maroun Chidiac from the presidency of the Order, His Holiness Pope Francis, on March 29, 2021, appointed Father Pierre Najm as President-General in his place, in order to complete the remainder of the current mandate, while Bishop Hanna Alwan remains as Pontifical Commissioner in the Order.

"The new President-General celebrates the Mass of Thanksgiving in Our Lady of Louaize Church on the day of the new Sunday, April 11, at 11:30 am, after which he will receive well-wishers until 8:00 pm," the statement added.
