Season of the Glorious Pentecost

 

 

Pentecost 

 

  Christ has risen from the grave,

and enlightened all creatures.

The angelic hosts shout,

the choirs of seraphim clap their hands

and the cherubim sing in fearsome voices:

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord.

Holy is the Father, who sent his only Son

to make new the image of Adam,

to be ruler of all creation,

and, by his bounty, to gladden the grave.

He rose and destroyed death,

demolished the nether world,

and established his reign in heaven and on earth..

All Are Welcome

 

St. George Maronite Church is a parish of the Syriac Maronite Patriarchal Church of Antioch, a self-governing Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with the Roman Pontiff. While completely Catholic, we, nonetheless, have our own hierarchy and clergy (bishops, priests, and deacons), operate under a separate Code of Canon Law called the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, and have a different liturgical calendar (Holy and Feast Days) and lectionary.

This web site has been designed  to provide all who are interested in the Maronite community of St. George a place to gain valuable information about our culture, traditions, and activities.

We invite everyone to come worship with us this Saturday or Sunday and see the richness and beauty of the Maronite Qurbono (Mass). All Catholics may fulfill their Sunday obligation with us.
