Lebanese Al-Kataeb Association

Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (10:11): It was a pleasure to attend the Australian Lebanese Al Kataeb of Victoria annual memorial service in memory of the founder of the Kataeb Party, the late sheikh Pierre Gemayel and the late president-elect sheikh Bachir Gemayel and all the martyrs who have died for peace, justice, sovereignty and freedom. The service was held at Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church in Thornbury, with Father Johnny Szabo, Monsignor Joseph, all the Antonine Sisters, all the Lebanese political parties and Lebanese charitable and village associations and the local Lebanese community, and I also pay tribute to Father Johnny for his service to the church.
