Honor the legacy of Venerable Elias Peter Hoayek, one of the most influential figures in modern Maronite Catholic history, with this beautifully designed double-laminated prayer card. Born in 1843 in Helta, Lebanon, Elias Hoayek rose to become the 72nd Patriarch of the Maronite Church in 1899, serving as both a spiritual father and national leader through an era of famine, persecution, and political transformation.
Known as the “Patriarch of the Nation,” Hoayek stood courageously for Lebanese independence, religious freedom, and the preservation of Maronite identity. He guided his people through the tragedies of World War I and was instrumental in founding the Congregation of the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family, which continues his mission of education and mercy today.
This prayer card features a lifelike portrait of Venerable Elias Peter Hoayek on the front, dressed in his formal patriarchal attire with a warm and resolute expression. The reverse side presents a succinct biography highlighting his pastoral work, defense of the faith, and his dedication to the poor, education, and the dignity of the Lebanese people. His Feast Day is December 24, a powerful time to reflect on his role as a true shepherd and protector of the Maronite Church.
