          Season of  Glorious Pentecost

 

 

15th Sunday of Pentecost

Come forth, O daughter of nations, come forth!

Through the mouths of your children,

sign praise to the hidden Father,

who, in his love, betrothed you to his only Son.

At the end of time, he sent Christ to us.

The Son took flesh from the daughter of David

and saved all creatures.

 

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 with 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 the 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 Pope of Rome, Benedict XVI.  We are the only Eastern Catholic Church in San Antonio. All Catholics share the same faith yet Eastern Catholics express that faith though their own various Traditions.  Maronites have their 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 both a different liturgical calendar and lectionary.

 

For answers to some commonly asked questions about our church, visit the Question and Answers (Q&A) link on your left.   

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.
