Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles

The Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles was established by Pope John Paul II in 1994, carved out of the original Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn. It spans 34 states across the western and central United States, serving Maronite Catholics who trace their roots to the Eastern Christian tradition of Lebanon and Greater Syria. The eparchy's cathedral is Our Lady of Mt. Lebanon in Los Angeles, though its administrative offices are based in St. Louis. With 45 parishes spread across this vast territory, it is one of two Maronite eparchies in the United States.
