Mission Statement
Saint Charbel Mission is entrusted in the establishment of a Maronite Catholic Church in Central North Carolina to preserve the faith, traditions, and heritage of the Maronite Catholic Church through the teaching of Jesus Christ through the doctorine of the Roman Catholic Church.
About Us
As a Maronite Catholic Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, our mission is to share the treasures of our eastern heritage - culture, family ethics, traditions, spirituality and liturgy, with all our brothers and sisters in the Triangle area of North Carolina, while promoting our Christian faith, peace and harmony in our community.
Our church which started in Antioch with Saint Maron, has more than 1400 years of Christian tradition and a special sacred language, Aramaic, the spoken language of Jesus Christ. Aramaic is still used in our Divine Liturgy (mass), especially during the consecration of the Body and Blood of our Lord and during the invocation of the Holy Spirit.
"The Eastern Rites are the treasure of the Church." (Pope John XXIII)
Our liturgy is in English and arabic, simple and very popular. The laity plays an important role in the liturgy and in the life of our church.
Everyone is welcome to join us in our worship and way of life, as a humble community seeking to serve and glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and live by his eternal life giving commandments.
