Saint Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church

About this church

Saint Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church is at 2920 West Scenic Drive in Peoria. The Lord's Day Divine Liturgy is celebrated Saturday at 5:00 p.m. and Sunday at 10:00 a.m.; an additional Arabic liturgy is offered at 8:00 a.m. on first Sundays. Daily liturgies are Monday through Friday at 9:00 a.m., Tuesday through Friday at 5:00 p.m., and Saturday at 8:00 a.m., with daily services held in St. Rafqa Chapel. Confession is Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to noon or by appointment.

This is a Maronite Eastern Catholic parish, not a Latin-rite parish with an ethnic program added on. Its official history traces the Maronite tradition to fourth-century Christian communities in the Levant and explains its Eastern Christian identity within communion with Rome. The parish's mission emphasizes the Maronite way of worship, prayer, education, service, and the example of St. Sharbel. Tuesday through Friday devotions include Eucharistic exposition and the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00, Stations of the Cross at 3:15, and the Rosary at 4:30. A first-Friday overnight vigil has its own special sequence, so visitors interested in it should check current announcements.
