The Order of St. Sharbel is a national organization with a local chapter. The Order of Saint Sharbel was named for Sharbel Makhluf (1828-1898), who was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1977.  Saint Sharbel was a priest of the Maronite Church in Lebanon who, following the example of Saint Maron for whom the Church is named, lived as a hermit from 1875 until his death.  His life of holiness and dedication to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ make him an outstanding role model for priests. The Order provides financial support to seminarians of the Maronite Church in the United States.

New members to the order of Saint Sharbel are welcome.  The seminarians you help today will be the priests of tomorrow who will serve the Maronite Church in America. We have two levels of membership, Annual and Perpetual:

Annual
To be an Annual member, you must donate $500 annually or make four equal installments of $125 per quarter.

Perpetual
To become a Perpetual member, you must make a one-time donation of $5,000 to the Order’s Endowment Fund.  You can also choose to make four equal payments of $1,250 over a one-year period.

Once your application has been submitted to either the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn or the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles, the bishop (or his representative) will install you into the Order during Divine Liturgy at your parish or in your region.
