Maronites Building A Better Future
Welcome to our Victorian Maronite Community website.
We are an Eastern Catholic Community, of some ten
thousand people, who are spread all over Melbourne in
the State of Victoria . Over the last few years we have
worked hard to build a beautiful Church as our own
house of prayer and worship.
As a Parish we give witness to Jesus by the lives we
live and the faith we share with our world.
Our site gives you an idea of some of the activities and
projects we have undertaken to meet the needs of
Maronites in Victoria .
We thank our God for the many blessings we have
received in and through our Parish and hope you enjoy
our site. You are welcome to come and pray with us at
any time .
