Our  Liturgy
“This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22: 19

Our Divine Liturgy or Mass is celebrated according to the Antiochene Syriac (Aramaic) Maronite Church.  The Mass prayers are recited by the priest & congregation in English, Arabic and Aramaic.  Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus, is the mother language and the liturgical language of the Maronite Catholic Church and is widely used in our Divine Liturgy.  During the Maronite Divine Liturgy, the Consecration and several other prayers are chanted in Aramaic.  We are proud of our rich Christian heritage and our Eastern Rite

 which Pope John XXIII  described as “A Treasure of the Catholic Church; a jewel in the crown of Catholicism.”   We invite you to attend our Divine Liturgy and pray with us in Aramaic.  You will see the “jewel” sparkle and, like in Mel Gibson’s movie, "The Passion of the Christ," you will feel the Gospel of Jesus come to life.  Everyone is welcome to our church.
