Fr. Youssef Juan, who was appointed as a temporary visitor, received instruction from the Patriarch Howayek and the General Superior Fr. Youssef Moubarak to succeed Fr. Ashkar in serving the South African Maronite Community. The Congregation of Maronite Lebanese Missionaries has since served in South Africa among other countries and continues in its mission in serving and assisting in the Maronite and Latin Rites. Fr Youssef Juan served the community for almost one year. After, in December 1928, Fr. Peter Alam, sent by the Maronite Patriarch, succeeded Fr. Juan and set about serving the community.
