We, the Maronite Family in Western New York, descendants of the Church of Antioch and children of Beit Maroun, are part of the Universal Church, the faithful Bride who was betrothed by the Eternal bridegroom. Protected under the wings of the Cross, nourished by the Body and Blood of our Savior, empowered by the Holy Spirit, bonded by prayer and supported by each other, we are committed, through Time, Talent and Treasure, to preserve the faith of Peter, to hand down the torch of our precious heritage to our children and to promote human life and dignity in our community and in the world.
