Our Lady’s Maronite Catholic Church

The parish literally changed my life. Like many Catholics, I’d felt a gap between my interior prayer life and the public worship found in a parish. I’d attended «Mass» all over town, but never felt comfortable enough to take the huge step of calling a parish my home.
I was raised in the Roman (Latin) rite and knew nothing of the Maronite rite (really it is a stand alone ‘church’ in the universal Catholic church, which has the Holy Father (Pope) as its shepherd). I soon fell in love with the richness of the prayers and the instructional nature of them as the year progressed. The Maronite church, for me, stressed God’s love for us, and takes it as a given that we are in a falled state.
Monsignor Don, the pastor, is a pragmatic man with deep and abiding faith in God. I’ve come to know him well and he really ‘walks the walk’, though he also ‘talks the talk’ well (he is an outstanding homilist!). He is also a wise and caring confessor. Whether or not you are Roman rite, protestant, or Maronite, I would recommend Our Lady’s with all my heart.

This cute little church is filled with of some of the most kind, open, and spiritual people we’ve ever met at Mass anywhere. Even upon our first visit, we felt so welcome, and so much at home. Monsignor Donald Sawyer (Father Don) has really helped us to grow and learn, in fact, we even got married here =)
Whether or not you are Maronite Catholic, or if you are Christian at all, there’s something special that you may find, waiting for you here. (and afterwards!)
