Richard Shebib is all about devotion and hard work in his Holy Church. He is a man of few words, but faith has made him inventive, and he sees possibilities when there is no possibility at hand. His demeanor speaks volumes not in what he says but in what he does. As Jesus said, For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead (James 2:26). Richard is alive and well, and we are truly the beneficiary of his love and service (Fr. George Shalhoub, the Antiochian Orthodox Basilica of St. Mary, Livonia).
