Holy Family Maronite Catholic Church

About this church

Holy Family Maronite Catholic Church celebrates the Divine Liturgy Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. and Sundays at 10:00 a.m. in Mendota Heights, with Sunday liturgy livestreamed on Facebook. Weekday liturgies are published for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 9:00 a.m. Maronite worship belongs to the Syriac tradition and traces its liturgy to Saint James, giving Catholic visitors an Eastern liturgical experience distinct from the Roman rite. The parish began in 1918 and moved to its current Lexington Avenue South campus in July 2009.

Faith formation, women’s and men’s groups, youth activities, and charitable work fill out parish life. Outreach includes collecting donations for Wakota, preparing lunches for people experiencing homelessness on the first Saturday of the month, and choosing a different charitable cause for monthly support. The parish calendar and homepage currently present conflicting days for children’s faith formation, so families should confirm the meeting time directly rather than relying on one page. For a first visit, the weekend Divine Liturgies are the most dependable entry points; newcomers interested in the Maronite tradition can use the history page to understand the community’s Lebanese roots and century-long life in Minnesota.
