DEAR FRIENDS,
I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at St. Sharbel
Church for the loving support and prayers I received during the
recent illness and ultimate passing of my Mother, Delores Grobbel. I
was overwhelmed at the outpouring of condolences I received from
my Maronite family here at St. Sharbel Church! Every kind word,
card, visit, phone call, food, and expression of sympathy meant so
much to me and touched my heart. I not only lost my Mother, but
also a very, very dear friend. Everyone who met her couldn’t help
but like her and she prayed for everyone who asked for her prayers.
She was an incredible woman of faith who touched many lives by
her kindness and her prayers.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their
patience during my bereavement leave from work. I know that this
has caused a few problems, mistakes, and inconveniences, however,
I ask for your understanding and continued patience as I try to catch
up and rectify anything that may have gone unaddressed during my
time off.
Thank you again for keeping me and my family in your prayers.
Please know you remain in mine.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Dianne Bartolomeo
Administrative Assistant
St. Sharbel Maronite Church

Many members of the St. Laba Society participated in a full day
of the St. Laba praying area between the Tamer Building and the
garage. They worked all day on Saturday, June 8th weeding,
trimming, planting, and “rehabilitating” the ground stones and
statue. How beautiful this very special area of our complex now
looks! Please take time to stop by and pause a moment to reflect
and say a prayer!
A TASTE OF LEBANON
ST. SHARBEL CHURCH FESTIVAL
September 6th - 7th - 8th, 2013
Plans for our Festival - A Taste of Lebanon - are well underway!
There are many opportunities for everyone to become involved
by volunteering before and during the Festival. Of critical importance, your help is needed NOW to promote “A Taste of Lebanon” by getting businesses or individuals to become a sponsor.
There are a variety of sponsorships that allow for donations both
large and small.
In addition to helping us fund our endeavor, sponsorship provides
businesses and individuals in the community an opportunity to
become better known, while enjoying the benefits offered with
each sponsorship level. We would like to cover our festival expenses which we expect to be around $31,000, and we will keep
you updated on how we are doing toward our goal.
Please do your part in supporting our Church by reaching out to
people you know and do your business with: your bank, dentist,
doctor, insurance agents, hair salons, stores, etc. and those who
provide services for you. This is a great opportunity for our
Young Adults to become involved...your help is needed!
Stop by the Festival Table this weekend after each Liturgy to
pick up your Sponsorship Packets. For more information, or if
you have any questions, please call the Church Office. Thank
you!
