Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
It is with great joy that we invite you to the Grand Opening of the Saint Sharbel Spiritual Life Center, which will take place on Saturday, April 13, 2024!
The Saint Sharbel Spiritual Life Center is dedicated to the Lebanese-born Maronite Catholic saint whose prayerful intercessions are credited for thousands of spiritual and physical healings.
The Center is located in the former Epiphany Center in Pittsburgh, which was the work of the late Father Adrian van Kaam and Doctor Susan Muto. The Center was recently acquired by and is operated under the direction of the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn. Doctor Anne Borik serves as Director and Subdeacon Vincent Michael as Assistant Director, and I, in my capacity as Eparchial Bishop, serve to oversee the entire wonderful effort.
The schedule of events is as follows. To register online for the open house or to purchase tickets for the dinner and concert, visit saintsharbelcenter.org under Upcoming Events.
