St. Joseph Maronite Catholic Mission

About this church

St. Joseph Maronite Catholic Mission is based at 3870 Castleman Street in Riverside. Its principal Sunday Divine Liturgy is celebrated at 11:00 a.m. in English, Arabic, and Syriac and is also carried on Facebook. Weekday liturgies are Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m., likewise using the congregation’s three languages. A Saturday 5:00 p.m. liturgy is held at the Sisters of the Holy Family in Murrieta rather than at the Riverside address. Confession is available before and after liturgy.

The weekly devotional rhythm continues with Bible study Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. and Eucharistic adoration Thursday at 7:00. Sunday School offers religious formation for children, while separate groups serve youth ages twelve through eighteen and young adults ages eighteen through thirty-five. The mission describes itself as part of the Antiochene Syriac Maronite Church, in communion with the Maronite Patriarch and the Holy Father, and seeks to preserve Maronite liturgy and heritage while serving local families. First-time visitors should verify which location is hosting Saturday worship and review feast-day schedule changes.
