The Maronite Youth Organization (MYO) of St. Sharbel is comprised of two groups. The “Crossroads” group consists of youth between the ages of 12 and 16. And The “Maronteens” consists of youth between the age of 16 and 20 (age exceptions may be considered for either group). Both groups meet on the 2nd and 4th Friday’s each month at the Church from 7:00 to 9:00 PM and also on other occasions for social and spiritual events as determined. Typical meetings consist of Praise and Worship music, sacred scripture discussion, games, fun and food. Please contact Maroun Maroun, maroun.maroun1@gmail.com if you have any interest, questions or ideas. All youth are encouraged to participate, learn and enjoy the fellowship of the church.

The Maronite Young Adults (MYA) meets regularly throughout the year, usually twice a month.  The general format involves the reading and discussion of a book, as well as time for socializing and fellowship.  For more information about meeting times, meeting place, or other questions, please contact Antoine Karam.  The MYA is a group of young men and women ages of 20 and up. (We can make some exceptions if they are little younger but ready). The goal and purpose of MYA , on the national and local level, is to assist young adults to come to a greater appreciation/involvement with his/her faith.  In short, we hope to become a bold presence in the Church and in the world.

The Oblates of Jesus, Mary and Joseph: Meetings will be held on the 3rd Monday of each month. The agenda will be as follows: Either recitation of the rosary or praying all/part of the Maronite Prayer of the Faithful, followed by group discussion on a book the group is reading.

Men’s Fellowship and Bible Study Group:  From now until Easter this group meets at the Parish every week on Wednesday at 6:00pm.  The group will stay and participate in the new Wednesday night Mass at 7:00.  All men in the parish are welcome, and you are welcome to bring Men from other parishes or any men you think might benefit from Christian fellowship.  Contact Michael Gama.
