Ave Maria

Greetings to you dear William Kamm (little Pebble) and the Order of St. Charbel and its Branches, on this day of confirmation of the Order of Saint Charbel and its Branches the priests have to celebrate a Holy Mass and will also remember the Bishop in the Mass-Canon.

Attached please find the original deed which I have personally signed and sealed.

Be it that our joint labours will contribute to the Good of the Holy Roman-Catholic Apostolic Church and the Salvation of the eternal souls.

Let us pray together and for each other, for all the projects and labours undertaken by and for our Brotherhood in the vineyard of Our Lord.

Pax et Bonum, Peace and Salvation

Re: Confirmation of the Regulations and Constitution of the Order of Saint Charbel and its Branches.

Reverent Founder, H.H.P. Spiritual, reverent Brothers and Sisters.

Firstly we would like to thank you for your request to acknowledge your Order as a religious institute.

We also thank you for the trust you place in us.

We mentioned the matter to the Congregations' Advisory Council and the Council having agreed to peruse your request we carefully looked at your regulations and articles. We found them not only in full compliance with the CIC but also well researched and of good service to the Order of St. Charbel and its Branches.

Thus by virtue of our Bishop's Authority we acknowledge and confirm the Order of St. Charbel and its Branches and hearby endorse its Regulations and Articles which enter into force as from now.

May these Holy Regulations and your own Articles provide guidance through these infernal times when striving for perfection and holiness, and may they also be a pillar of strength on your way along the eternal, unchanged Catholic path of truth set by the Holy Roman-Catholic Apostolic Church and her traditions. May you contribute in your specific way to the greater glory of the Holy Church of Jesus Christ for all the world to see.

Bear witness by your sacrifices, your prayers, your atonement and the humble obedience of your vows.

With great joy we give our Blessings to the above, we promise to include you in our prayers at the sacrificial altar and send you our greetings within the mutual bond of our Holy Roman-Catholic and Apostolic Faith.

Pax et Bonum, Peace and Salvation
