Season of the Glorious Resurrection

 

 

 

 

 

 

5th Sunday of Pentecost/

Feast of Sts. Peter & Paul

 

The blessed apostles rejoice and exult,

they obtained the promise of the Lord.

In the fullness of light and love.

They went out to the world, announcing his truth

in the Spirit and fire.

 

John baptized in the waters of the Jordan River;

Jesus baptized in truth.

He gave his apostles the spirit of adoption,

in the name of the Father, and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

Holy, Holy, holy.

 

We implore you, O Spirit of the Lord,

grant life to the faithful.

You are the pledge of life;

you are the true inheritance of the promise.

Fill us with love and renew us in hope,

the taste of heaven.

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.
