More than 50 years ago, Mr. Naseeb Saliba began an organization of men that called themselves "The Loafers." Since that time they have met every week for fellowship and to discuss how they can help the Church. Last year, "The Loafers" generously donated a security fence for the Los Angeles Chancery.

On Wednesday, January 9, His Grace, Bishop JOSEPH met with "The Loafers" at the Wilshire Country Club in Los Angeles for their first gathering of 2008. It was a day of wonderful food, fellowship, and discussion about the future of the Church.
