Epiphany – October 31, 2021

‘If we have died with him/ we shall also live with him.’ 2 Tm 2:11

Fr. Zaid Chabaan gives clarification All Souls and All Saints days. Teresa Tomeo and Deacon Dom Pastore invite Deacons and their wives to a webinar event. Jeff Styers launches the ‘Faith at Work’ segment and is the epitome of this practice.

Fr. Zaid Chabaan

Associate Pastor, Our Lady of Good Counsel

I grew up in Southfield and moved to Sterling Heights when I was 12 years old. I began attending Mass at the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica, which is my home parish. I have wanted to be a priest since the age of 12. I graduated from high school in 2007 and from Oakland University in 2011 with a BA in History with a minor in political science. I worked for 8 years before entering the seminary as a 2nd Assistant Manager at McDonalds, Dietary and Guest Service Department at Troy Beaumont Hospital, and a Refugee Case Worker at Samaritas, formerly Lutheran Social Services of Michigan (LSSM). 

I come from a Middle Eastern background which I am very proud of!  I speak Arabic fluently and my name in Arabic is pronounced like the word “paid”, but with a Z. My father is from Syria and my mom is from Iraq. I love culture, reading, traveling, coffee shops, biking, and most importantly being with people!
