They need to be removed from the trauma, they need to be removed from the land of disaster. These are the kinds of refugees we want in our country, because they have no other place to go." St. Ra± a's Mission of Hope and Mercy works out of Father Mahanna's native Lebanon, which is regarded as a haven for refugees in the Middle East. Leba- non is currently hosting over two million refugees, more than any other country in the world, and are doing so with "great grace," Father Mahanna said. In addition to aiding in the rescue of at least three children, the Mission has also saved preg- nant women from death and helped to deliver new babies, Father Mahanna said. The third annual Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast, spearheaded by Father Mah- anna, will take place at St. Ra± a's the morning of August 19, with special guests including Bishop Jorge H. Rodri- guez and Dr. Tom Farr of the Religious Freedom Institute in Washington D.C. Proceeds from the breakfast will benefi t St. Ra± a's Mission of Hope and Mercy, a Denver-based aposto- late founded by Father Mahanna that provides direct aid to victims of the genocide carried out by ISIS against Christians and religious minorities in Iraq and Syria. The theme for this year's breakfast is Lebanon: A Place for Hope, referring to the PLACE (Peace, Love and Co-Existence Among the Children of Abraham) initiative that was signed by various ecumenical leaders—including Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila—in 2014. "The focus of this year's prayer break- fast is Lebanon as a place for that hope," Father Mahanna explained. "Through Lebanon we helped Christina. Through Lebanon we helped give birth to other children. Through Lebanon we helped to give over $55,000 in emergency med- ical aid to people who otherwise would die at the doors of hospitals." It's for this reason they've chosen Lebanon to be the theme of the breakfast this year, which is in its third iteration. The large infl ux of refugees to Leb- anon has been di¯ cult on the infra- structure of the country, which has a native population of four million. The Christian advocacy group In Defense of Christians is lobbying for lawmakers to pass House Resolution 252, which would establish safe zones in the neigh- boring Syria, thereby relieving some of the strain on Lebanon. ECUMENICAL PRAYER BREAKFAST Saturday, August 19 8 a.m. – 11 a.m. St. Rafka's Maronite Church 2301 Wadsworth Blvd., Lakewood. i For more informa- tion on the work that St. Rafka's Mission of Hope and Mercy con- ducts in Lebanon, visit savechristian- middleeast.com.
