OUR BLESSING
With blessings from His Beatitude, Patriarch Gregory III Laham and the Most Reverend Bishops of America and Oceania, this project extends to the Melkite Catholic Churches that continue to propagate and flourish world wide.
GMA Inc. is the Global Melkite Association (Incorporated) that began with small groups from Saint Joseph’s Melkite Catholic Church in Melbourne, Australia.
GMA Inc. is about building a strong network between families and youth across the Melkite Church around the world.
Our parents and grandparents belong to this Church and we inherit this identity.
Our team is happy to share ideas about Melkite values and how to unite Melkites throughout the world.
We’ll never forget our first meeting. Bright eyes and our creative ideas were the first factor in starting this dream seriously.
Like you, the young members of this team are very busy studying and working. Nevertheless, they are contributing their time and effort to this large project. You can contribute as well, and this will obviously improve the outcome and we shall reach our goals faster!
GMA Inc. is a great team—however by your joining us, you will improve this project.
