Saint Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church – First Communion and Eucharist

Saint Sharbel Maronite Community

 

A pharmacist in New Jersey, Joseph Chebli leads as executive director of JC Rx Consulting, LLC. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Joseph Chebli serves as a sub-deacon at Saint Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church in Somerset, New Jersey.

Saint Sharbel Maronite Community is part of the Universal Catholic Church. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, its members are empowered by their baptismal promises and the Lord’s disciples to be stewards of God’s bountiful gifts. The members are committed to preserve and pass-on their Eastern Antiochene Syriac tradition and spiritual heritage to their children. The Maronites life reflects their monastic heritage of prayer and asceticism and that tradition is made visible in their liturgical celebration and personal lives.

Saint Sharbel follows the universal Eastern Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church. The church celebrates the Divine Liturgy and always welcomes Christians from other churches to share in the sacraments in the hope that all believers will be drawn together.
