Ordained to the priesthood on 30 May 1957 to the Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Sidon, Eid was elected Archbishop of the Maronite Catholic Archeparchy of Damascus on 5 June 1999 by the Maronite Synod.
Maronite Patriarch of Antioch, Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, gave him on November 20 of the same year the Episcopal ordination. His co-consecrators were Tanios El Khoury, Eparch of Sidon, and Emile Eid, Vice-President of the Commission for the codification of the Eastern Churches' law.
He retired on 25 September 2005.[1] and in 2006 Pope Benedict XVI accepted his age-related withdrawal.
