The mystery of love and marriage unveils itself through our everyday relationships. The invisible becomes visible in our daily reality.
“You have made a tremendous progress from the time you were a mission to the time when I proclaimed your church as a Basilica. All this work could never have been accomplished without the energy and leadership of Archpriest George Shalhoub. He sailed with you, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against the wind; but you continued to sail.” -Metropolitan PHILIP, Archbishop of New York, The Antiochian Orthodox Church Archdiocese of North America
“I have rarely found such drive, commitment, and enthusiasm toward spiritual vision among clergy. You drink from His fountain and remain refreshed and charged with clairvoyance, infusing excitement and fruits of the Spirit – for this I am so joyful for our church.” -Dr. John Chirban, Clinical Instructor, Harvard Medical School, The Cambridge Hospital
