“Remain in peace, O holy altar of God, I hope to return to you in peace. May the offering I have received from you forgive my sins and prepare me to stand blameless before the throne of Christ. I know not whether I will be able to return to you again to offer sacrifice. Guard me, O Lord, and protect your holy Church, that she may be the way to salvation and the light of the world. Amen.” (Anaphora of the 12 Apostles)

A hidden treasure in Detroit, MI, St. Maron Maronite Church witnesses to Jesus Christ’s plan of salvation for us: from His conception, birth, and holy baptism to His saving passion, life-giving death, His burial for three days, His glorious resurrection, ascension to heaven, His sitting at the right hand of the Father, and His wondrous, awesome and royal return, when He shall judge all people and separate them according to their deeds.

“Maronites in the United States are bearers of a rich tradition. Not only do they embody their ethnic heritage, but they also witness to two great religious traditions, the tradition of the earliest converts to Christianity and the rich heritage of the Church of Antioch. Their prayers and liturgical formulas are filled with references to Sacred Scripture. Their hymns are filled with the poetry of the Middle East. Maronite theology emphasizes the mysteriousness of God, but also the call to humans to be united to divinity through the humanity of Christ. It declares that humans beings are not only created in the image and likeness of God, but are also called to a new creation through the Holy Spirit in baptism where they become spiritual beings called to immortality. It honors the Blessed Mother as being the New Eve and the paradigm of the Church” wrote Chorbishop Seely Beggiani.
