St. John Maron

St. John Maron in Williamsville, New York, is a Maronite Catholic church under the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn, tracing its spiritual heritage to Saint Maron, a fourth-century monk from the mountains of Lebanon whose followers gave rise to one of the oldest Christian churches. Sunday liturgies are celebrated in both English and Arabic, with Syriac—the ancient language of early Christians—woven into the rite. The parish holds a monthly Mass honoring Saint Charbel and hosts an annual Lebanese Festival each summer.
