Heart of Jesus Maronite Rite

The Heart of Jesus Maronite Rite is a part of the Catholic Church, which is a communion of Churches united in faith and love, with the Pope in Rome as the visible head. The Maronite Church is one of the Eastern Catholic Churches, following the Antiochene Tradition. Each Catholic Church practices a common faith according to one of the six major traditions and shares the same dogmatic faith, sacraments, moral teachings, and unity with the Pope. The Maronite Church dates back to the early Christians of Antioch and still uses Syriac as its liturgical language. The Maronite Church is now established in Lebanon and has communities throughout the world, including in the United States.
