St. Michael the Archangel Maronite Catholic Church
A Community of Prayer, Love and Fellowship. We Welcome You!
St. Michael the Archangel is a Catholic Church in the community of Eastern Catholic Churches in full communion with the Pope of Rome, Francis.
The Catholic communion of churches is made up of both the Eastern and Western Churches all equal in dignity. Most Catholics in this country belong to the Roman or Latin Church; whereas, Maronites belong
to one of the eighteen Eastern churches.
Our Liturgy is from the ancient cities of Antioch and Edessa. What makes us all Catholic is our union with the Pope.
The Maronite Church has one of the oldest traditions in the Catholic Church. Before Saint Peter established the Church in Rome, he founded the Church in Antioch where Saint Paul preached. It was in Antioch that those who believed in Jesus Christ as the Son of God were first called CHRISTIANS.
