A Historic Conference for Ireland
Join us for a historic weekend of prayer, healing, and encounter at the first-ever Saint Sharbel Conference in Ireland. This powerful three-day event will gather faithful from across Ireland and the UK to experience the richness of Maronite spirituality and the living witness of Saint Sharbel.
Encounter over 200 sacred relics of saints, pray with Maronite monks from Lebanon, and participate in ancient liturgies chanted in Aramaic—the language of Christ. With inspiring talks, Eucharistic adoration, healing prayer, and opportunities for spiritual renewal, this is more than a conference—it’s a moment of grace for our nation.
Key notes
- Talks from speakers from all over the world
- Over 200 relics from Catholic Saints
- A chance to experience the Maronite Divine Liturgy (Mass)
The Maronite Divine Liturgy is one of the oldest liturgical traditions in the Catholic Church, tracing its roots back to the early Church in Antioch and the very language spoken by Christ—Aramaic. Rich in mysticism, silence, chant, and symbolism, the Maronite liturgy draws the soul into the mystery of the Cross and Resurrection with profound reverence and beauty.
At this year’s conference, Maronite monks from Lebanon will celebrate the liturgy each day, offering Irish and UK Catholics a rare opportunity to enter into the living heart of Eastern Catholic spirituality. Surrounded by incense, ancient chants, and deep silence, this sacred experience will unite East and West in one voice of worship.
