Congregation Of Maronite Lebanese Missionaries
The Congregation of Maronite Lebanese Missionaries (known also as Kreimist or Krayme) was founded at the monastery of Kreim - Ghosta (Mountain of Lebanon), in the year 1865. This formation was the result of the relentless efforts of Father John Habib (later Archbishop) and numerous dedicated priests. The founding fathers wanted the members of the Congregation to walk the way towards perfection, to work for the spiritual welfare of others, to preach the Gospel, to warn, guide, counsel, and educate for the Glory of God. The Congregation with patriarchal jurisdiction enjoys special consideration from the Patriarch and Bishops. The Congregation numbers at this time: 2 Bishops, 96 Priests, 14 Seminarians, 7 Novices.
