We are so proud of one of our young parishioners, Emma Abu Elias, for this beautiful drawing of Saint Sharbel! Her talent is a true gift to our parish community. When we look at this image, it inspires us to pray, reflect, and feel the peaceful presence of St. Sharbel among us. Thank you, Emma, for using your gift to glorify God and bless our parish family!
