Regaining the Lebanese Citizenship
WHO WE ARE / WHY:
Strengthening the ties
Consolidating the bond
Maintaining a Vital Balance
Regaining the Lebanese Citizenship
Joining Forces to overcome demography
 
This cooperation between all parties concerned should lead to the setting up of arrangements and tangible measures to assist those outspread in the world, and facilitate their dealings with the Lebanese public offices, in particular the departments of personal records, and all offices concerned with the Lebanese citizens registration records, and registration of their marriages, and births, as well as the preservation of their Lebanese identity. In addition, we should secure intercommunication among the Maronites in the world who are of Lebanese descent to help them and help their children regain their Lebanese citizenship. Furthermore, we have to carry out all the required measures, procedures, and activities that could provide solid intercommunication between Lebanon and his children in the world with the aim of facilitating their return to their roots, and their holding on firmly to these roots. All of the above could only be achieved through coordination with the dioceses, missions, and parishes in the countries of immigration.
However, the importance of the issues under discussion on the part of the Maronite church, and the size of the difficulties that stand in the way of the Maronite church in performing all its duties of embracing the Maronites of the world, and regarding the inter-relatedness of these multi-dimensional missions, it has become imperative to found a real institutional body capable of drawing solutions to all these difficulties on one hand, and on the other securing the continuity of the efforts to confront such difficulties, as well as all other forms of hardships that might arise.
