Sunday of the

Faithful Departed

With the sweet fragrance of this incense

we remember, Lord, the faithful departed.

In faith they ate your body, drank your blood,

and went to sleep in your hope.

Indeed, the righteous sleep in faith,

putting their hope in resurrection.

They await Christ to come

and give them their reward:

"That which eyes have not seen,

nor ears have heard,

nor what occurred to the human heart,"

-this is indeed the glory prepared for them.

We heard the Son saying:

"When the dead hear the living voice of God,

they shall arise without corruption:

those who did good, for a new life;

those who did wrong, for judgment."

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.
