His Eminence, Bishop Mar Antoine Charbel Taraby, the most respected.                                 We,the undersigned, the sons and daughters of your diocese request your Excellency to accept Father Rawad Al-Chakour as a priest in our diocese, as we have been in contact with him for more than five years, and he has provided us with spiritual services such as preaching, guidance and accompaniment.      Since the Maronite ecclesiastical tradition and the Lebanese Synod stipulate that the parishioners are those who apply for priesthood to the bishop of the diocese, we have brought this letter of ours requesting your approval to accept Father Rawad Al-Chakour as a priest of your NSW diocese in order to secure spiritual services to our families and spiritual guidance to our sons and daughters. Please accept the utmost appreciation and respect to Your Excellency, hoping our request will be answered �.
