Dear Parishioners of OLOP:

It is my sad duty to inform you that Hiam Chaib passed away peacefully yesterday. Our deepest sympathy goes out to her children Tony Chaib of Lebanon, Charbel Chaib of Italy, and Marie (Chaib) George Abi Rached of Dartmouth, MA, and her sister Amal and Gaby Baroody.

Visitation will take place at Saunders-Dwyer Funeral Home, 495 Park Street, New Bedford, MA 02740, on Thursday, June 17, from 4:00 – 7:00 PM. The Prayer of Bakhoor will be prayed at 5:00 PM.

Funeral Services will take place at Our Lady of Purgatory Church, on Friday, June 18, at 10:00 AM, and burial immediately following at Sacred Heart Cemetery.

May Almighty God welcome Hiam into His kingdom and may her soul rest in peace. Allah yerhamma.

In Christ,
Fr. Vincent
