Pietro Sfair (10 February 1888 - 18 May 1974 ) was a Lebanese Catholic prelate who was the Diocesan Bishop of the Maronite Catholic Church of Antioch in Rome, Italy, where he also served as Rector of the Maronite College.[1][2] Pope John XXIII appointed Sfair as the titular Archbishop of Nisibis.[3] Sfair was a Council Father (and the most senior Maronite cleric) at all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council.[4]
Sfair's ministry at the Roman discotheque Piper Club while he was a cardinal drew reporters.[5]
