St. Sharbel's Shrine

The National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes has become a sacred place where hundreds of thousands of believers a year come to pray, repent, and ask the Lord to provide for their various needs. One of the ways God is manifesting His divine power today is through the numerous miracles happening across the world through the intercession of Saint Sharbel. Adding a shrine in honor of Saint Sharbel provides a prayerful and peaceful site where visitors from across the country can experience God’s saving and healing power, celebrate God’s loving presence, and pray to Saint Sharbel to intercede on their behalf.
About St. Sharbel's Shrine
Over the course of some years a group of Lebanese faithful would pay visits to the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. After seeing that new saints’ statues and shrines were established on the grounds over the years, they thought to inquire about the possibility of adding a shrine dedicated to Saint Sharbel. The director of the Shrine accepted the group’s idea. Further discussions led to an agreement to execute this project under the sponsorship of the “Family of Saint Sharbel, USA”.
