The Maronite Research Institute (MARI) is undergoing major reorganization to find better sources of funding to continue to meet its objectives and improve its services and production. The Institute has been living off the contributions of a few people and at this time of even fewer. Its staff were all volunteers who can no longer respond to the increasing volume of tasks and inquiries.
Therefore, MARI has temporarily suspended publishing the Journal of Maronite Studies, but it is keeping all the previous issues available on its site for consultation. Meanwhile, resuming publication of the Journal will depend on your support and contribution.
MARI remains committed to its mission and to serving you. If we can be of any service, please do not hesitate to write to us. Kindly keep checking the site for announcements concerning our upcoming publications:
St. Maron Russian Orthodox Miraculous Icon of the Valamo Monastery in Finland.
The Maronites and their Relationship with the Island of Malta.
St. Maron Russian Orthodox Miraculous Icon and Church in Moscow and the Phenomenon of St. Sharbel in Russia.
Those of you who wish to contribute to the publishing of the Journal should make their tax-deductible donations payable to the Maronite Research Institute and send it to:
