Giving Tuesday is December 3rd!
Here are three ways you can participate in our mission
Support Seminarians
We are blessed to have 4 seminarians in training to become our future priests. Two of them live at Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Seminary in Washington D.C. and attend classes at Catholic University of America; one of them is studying in Rome, and one is studying in Lebanon this year. Seminarian expenses are the Eparchy’s single largest expense each year, as it costs on average $55,000 per year, per seminarian, for tuition, housing, food, health insurance, transportation and other expenses. Please consider making a donation to help cover seminarian expenses in 2025; or, consider joining the Order of Saint Sharbel, our giving society for supporters of seminarians.

Maronite Servants of Christ the Light
Mother Marla Marie Lucas just celebrated her 40th anniversary of religious life!
This amazing community of women is involved in a variety of ministries including walking spiritually with children, young adults, married couples and the elderly; facilitating conferences and parish missions; teaching catechism classes and bringing solace to those in grief. Your support will help support these ministries. For more information, please visit maroniteservants.org
Saint Sharbel Spiritual Life Center
In April, the new Saint Sharbel Spiritual Life Center in Pittsburgh hosted their grand opening! We are thrilled the Center, the first of its kind dedicated to Saint Sharbel, is being utilized and enjoyed by so many in the Eparchy. The Saint Sharbel Spiritual Life Center is open Tuesday through Saturday with daily Mass, and also offers retreats and Days of Recollection. Your donation will help support the continued operations and programs of the Center. For more information, visit saintsharbelcenter.org
