Founded by a few people who have dedicated themselves to bringing St. Sharbel to Ireland, the Friends of Saint Sharbel began its mission in early 2024.
Our mission is to encourage all of Ireland to live out a life of simplicity and holiness, inspired by the example of St. Sharbel. Members of the Friends of Saint Sharbel meet together in friendship and prayer, as well as attempt to embody the virtues that he embodied during life: Humility, Chastity, Obedience, and Piety.
The members of the Friends of Saint Sharbel come from all walks of life and consist of lay people, priests, and even monks. Becoming a member is simply a matter of contacting us and showing a desire in learning more about St. Sharbel.
Currently, our goal is to have the Relics of St. Sharbel visit every parish in Ireland and the UK. So far, the support we have received has been more than we could have ever hoped.
