Bishop Officesedit
On 31 July 1995 Maakaroun received the appointment as Archbishop of Latakia in Syria and on 17 December 1995 by Patriarch Maximos V Hakim was consecrated Archbishop. His co-consecrators were Archbishop (emeritus) Michel Yatim of Latakia and Archbishop Jean Mansour, SMSP, Titular Archbishop of Apamea of Greek Melkites and Auxiliary Bishop of Antioch. On 18 December 1999, Maakaroun received the appointment as archbishop "Pro hac vice", as bishop of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church in Brazil. In this role he was co-consecrator of Archbishop Nikolaki Sawaf of Latakia. In October 2010, he participated in the Special Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the Middle East in Rome. His objections to the final protocol was the call to engage in love for peace - but, he argued that "... there is no true love without true holiness. Let us be holy as our heavenly Father is holy. Holiness is the solution. Yes, sacred love, this is the solution." On 21 July 2014 Fares Maakaroun presented his apostolic resignation and was succeeded by his assistant, Joseph Gébara.[1]
