Maronite Mass at Ave Maria
Sunday, October 12, 7:00 pm, a Catholic Maronite Rite Mass will be celebrated in place of the Roman Rite by Chorbishop Michael G. Thomas, Vicar General of the Eparchy (Diocese) of St. Maron and pastor at Heart of Jesus Catholic Church (Maronite Rite) in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The Maronite Rite dates back to the time of the Apostles in Antioch (Syria) and uses a distinct liturgy characterized by its distinctive cultural and linguistic tradition and has always been in complete unity with the Bishop of Rome and Roman Catholic Church. Mass will be about an hour in length and fulfills the Sunday obligation. A printed guide will be available so all may follow along and participate in the Mass. All are invited.
