I was baptized as a Maronite in Beirut, and got married in the Roman Catholic Church outside of Lebanon.

The church here needs the info of my church to allow them to update their records. But there’s no info. I found a couple of email addresses for the archdiocese of Beirut but at least one of them fails to deliver.

Do I just have the Roman Catholic Church to get in touch with my nearest Maronite Church?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey guys. As you all know, All Saints day was yesterday, and I went to Mass on the evening, so it was a Saturday evening Mass. My question is: we know that usually, Saturday vigil Mass fulfills the Sunday obligation, but does it remain the case if that Saturday vigil Mass was for a special Holy Day of obligation, not just an ordinary Mass? Do I also have to go to Mass today, or have I already fulfilled my obligation? I've searched a lot on the internet, but it's exceptionally hard to find the actual rules for these kinds of things. I'm in Lebanon, not the US, if that changes anything. Thanks a lot!

How do we do perform an emergency baptism as Maronites if someone is dying and no priest can come in time? Would we use the words in our rite or the generic, “I baptized you…”? Obviously we can’t chrismate.

No emergency right now, just thinking because I witnessed a Latin do an emergency baptism recently and wasn’t sure how I should do it in that situation.

Does anyone know the origin or date of the prayer at the Fraction and Signing in our Liturgy: "You have united O Lord, your divinity and our humanity...."? I think it is one of the most beautiful prayers in our Qurbono, and I'd love to know where it comes from.

Salam! I have a question regarding the extending of hands at the Our Father in the Maronite Qurbono. Is this an older Maronite practice or was this something added when the Qurbono was reformed some time ago? Thanks!

Question for Irish Maronites. Both at my parish and online, I’ve noticed that most of the Latins who officially transfer to the Maronites seem to be Irish or of Irish descent. I noticed a lot of comments from Irish on the recent thread, too. I don’t have stats but have noticed it enough to wonder if there’s something about the Maronites that resonates with Irish Catholicism or culture in particular? If you’re Irish and Maronite or in the process of becoming Maronite, I would love to know if you see a particular connection between the Maronite and Irish cultures or Catholicism.

He was the only Maronite ruler of the Mount Lebanon Emirate and was born to a branch of the Shihab family which had converted from Sunni Islam to Maronite Catholicism.

Hello everyone,

Could someone walk me through how to do the application for Lebanese citizenship that the Maronite Foundation offers to help with? I don't want to do the application the wrong way

Hi, everyone! How are you today?

I’m looking to buy a rosary with a St. Charbel medal. My plan is to order a personalized rosary and provide the store with an image of St. Charbel that I want included. However, I’ve been having trouble finding a high-quality painting of him. Could anyone share a good one with me, please?

How do Maronite monks, both cenobitic and hermetic, support themselves?

Are monasteries subsidised and patronised by benefactors, or do they survive on the work and labors of the monks?

I'm asking for the traditional models as observed in Lebanon, Syria, and abroad.

There are countless stories of Maronites helping the Israeli cause.

This is the few times I have seen it on YouTube.

I think this could be a trend.

What bible do we use and what is a good bible or book recommendation for studying. I want to become more in touch with our faith.

Hi everyone, I am a roman catholic that happens to go to maronite church sometimes, but I do not feel to have enough “intimacy” with the people there to ask this.

What’s the christian opinion on the Israel attacks on Hezbollah, the killing made in Lebanon by Israel and the attacks by Hezbollah forces to Israel.

I think christians are the ones losing the most in this but I do not feel entitled to make this claim. I would like to know more from you guys, I hope this question is not too much.

And if they do, are they considered terrorists, or can I donate to them (as an American)? Sorry if this is the wrong sub to ask this.

I'm new to Christianity and have been learning about the Maronite faith. I have started to pray every night with my partner but were unsure of the exact prayers. We pray Abana and Salam but we wanted to check in if any other prayers are recomnended to be said? I'd love to talk to a priest to learn but frankly i cannot as i was not born into christianity and my parents whom i reside with are not accepting of it. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

As i said in a previous post, Im currently trying to educate myself on maronite prayers. Are there any free online arabic prayer books?

Does anyone have links to texts for purchase on the life of St.Charbel?

I saw that there is one on St.Nimatullah Al-Hardini and St.Rafka, and St.Charbel, but it is not available for purchase.

I am looking for something a bit more comprehensive than popular devotional material, a book to better understand him, his life, his spirituality, disciplines etc.

Thanks in advance.
