Come & discover St. Maroun’s Maronite Catholic Parish Sydney Redfern NSW 2016.
The Maronite Church developed within the Antiochene Church, which came into existence through the evanglisation by the Apostles, thus acknowledging her Petrine origin. It was in Antioch, the capital of the Eastern region of the Roman Empire, that “the disciples were first called Christians”, (Acts 11:26) which is the common attribute among the followers of Jesus and the solid base of every genuine ecclesiastic identity. In Antioch too, the Church opened up to all nations, and duly became the “daughter of nations”.
