S3 E16 - Blessed Patriarch Elias Hoayek - Sr Margaret Ghosn & Sr Rima Moussa

In this episode of **Let's Talk About It**, Paul Chidiac and Sub-Deacon Eddie Sallan sit down with **Sr Margaret Ghosn & Sr Rima Moussa of the Sisters of the Holy Family**, the congregation founded by **Blessed Patriarch Elias Peter Hoayek**, to explore the extraordinary life, faith, and legacy of the man they call their founder. From his early life and vocation to his leadership as Maronite Patriarch of Antioch, we uncover the man behind one of the most significant figures in modern Maronite history. Sr Margaret and Sr Rima share the story of his deep spirituality, his vision in founding the Sisters of the Holy Family, his love and service for his people, and his remarkable role in advocating for Lebanon on the world stage. More than a lesson in history, this conversation explores the spiritual legacy Blessed Elias Hoayek left behind — a legacy that continues through the Sisters of the Holy Family and their mission today — and asks what his life can teach us about faith, courage, sacrifice, leadership, and remaining faithful to Christ in the midst of suffering and uncertainty. *Hosted by:* Paul Chidiac *Co-Host:* Sub-Deacon Eddie Sallan *Guests:* Sr Margaret Ghosn & Sr Rima Moussa — Sisters of the Holy Family *Produced by:* Maronite Down Under About Maronite Down Under Maronite Down Under (MDU) is dedicated to sharing the Catholic faith through authentic conversations, interviews, apologetics, Scripture, and real-life issues affecting Christians today.
