  1. Isn't it this weekend for the big events at the Lebanese Church? Why didn't you note this? I will see you there. I want some good food.

    1. Nope, the ordination celebration at Our Lady of Lebanon is next weekend. But being that it's an event that's not open to the general public, but by invitation (other than the religious services, which we generally don't list here) it's not really a candidate for being listed the Weekend Guide.

      Still, your note brought to my attention that there was a typo in the headline date. Thanks. (No idea how I managed that one. Lack of sleep, I suppose...)
