West Bloomfield, Ml – Tragedy struck the family of John and Ann Mansour in July of 2013 losing their children Alexander (11) and Gabrielle (6) to a devastating boating accident. In the days, weeks and months of mourning,family, friends and the community came together to pray for the Mansours. Eleven-year old Adriana survived the accident suffering severe brain trauma and was in critical condition for months. The family took comfort from many, but it was the church, several priests and seminarians that never missed a day to pray with and console the Mansours. The family set up the foundation in memory of their children, and has scheduled events benefiting the Chaldean Seminarian Fund. The family is honored to support the Chaldean Seminarian Fund that currently has 12 men in preparation. Annual costs exceed $30,000 per seminarian for education, room and board. We have 12 seminarians in preparation and 100% of proceeds will benefit The Chaldean Seminarian Fund. Help us keep the faith and support the future of our community.

This past Sunday, we came together for the 13th Annual Stride for Seminarians Memorial Walk, and our hearts are filled with gratitude. ❤️🙏

The weather may not have been perfect, but that didn’t stop more than 900 people from showing up to walk alongside us in faith, love, and remembrance.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us, volunteered, sponsored, donated, and supported this year’s walk. Your continued love and generosity are what make this event so special year after year.

Thank you for walking with us and for continuing to honor the memory of Alex, Gabby, and John while supporting our seminarians and their journey.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

With love and gratitude,
The Mansour Family

John, it’s been one year today since we lost you.

There are still days when it doesn’t feel real. Days when we wish we could hear your voice, see your smile, hear your laugh, or simply have one more conversation with you.

We miss you more than words can ever express.

Over this past year, we’ve been reminded again and again of just how many lives you touched. Your faith, your kindness, your love for your family, and your willingness to always show up for others were simply who you were.

You carried Alex and Gabby in your heart every single day, and you poured so much of yourself into the Stride and its mission. You made sure their memory continued to bring people together and create something meaningful out of unimaginable loss.

And now, as we prepare to gather this Sunday for the first Stride without you here beside us, we know it’s going to be emotional. Your presence will be felt everywhere in the people, the prayers, the laughter, and every step we take.

We promise to continue what meant so much to you. To keep Alex and Gabby’s memory alive. To support our seminarians. To serve our community. And to carry forward the legacy you worked so hard to build.

John, we love you. We miss you. And we would give anything for just one more day with you.

Until we meet again. ❤️🙏 😇

John Mansour Dec 29, 1968 - Sept 17, 2025
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in our hearts.
