Faith - Ever Ancient, Ever New
A Catholic Parish of the Syriac Maronite Church of Antioch in Uniontown, Pennsylvania
St. George Church is committed to sharing the fullness of the Gospel and living the richness of the Syriac Maronite Tradition
through worship, charity, and striving for personal and communal holiness.
The Syriac Maronite Church of Antioch is one of over twenty
Eastern and Oriental Catholic Churches in communion with the Bishop of Rome.
Led by His Beatitude, Bechara Boutros Rai, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East in Bkerke, Lebanon,
the Syriac Maronite Church has parishes and missions on six continents.
ANCIENT LITURGICAL
WORSHIP
Worship in the Syro-Maronite Church is fundamentally liturgical - the public acts of worship by the Church constitute the fullness of Christian adoration of God. With liturgical hymnody and prayers dating back over 1700 years, the Syriac liturgical tradition is rich and deeply poetic.
SEMITIC CHRISTIANITY
Originating in the ancient city of Antioch, the Syriac Churches arose from the same semitic worldview as our Lord and His Apostles. Rooted in the Judaic biblical tradition, the narrative traditions of the Ancient Near East, and the Syro-Aramaic language, the Syro-Maronite tradition expresses Christianity through the ancient ‘lens’ of the Semitic peoples of Syria, Lebanon, and Mesopotamia.
APOSTOLIC PATRIMONY
Evangelized directly by St. Peter, St. Thomas and the other Apostles, Syriac Christians have preserved the Apostolic Faith throughout centuries of persecution, isolation, and influence from outside parties. Through the influence of the Syriac Fathers who developed our theological tradition and the Monastic origins of our Church which applied the ascetical and spiritual foundations of our faith, the Syro-Maronite Church passes on the faith of the Apostles and their successors to each successive generation.

The Syriac-Maronite liturgy developed out of the ancient liturgies of Jerusalem, Antioch, and the Syriac speaking areas of Syria Secunda and Mesopotamia. Many of the prayers and chants of the liturgy can be traced back to 4th and 5th Century Church Fathers St. Ephrem the Syrian and St. Jacob of Serugh.
The liturgical language of the Maronite Church is Syriac, a dialect of Classical Aramaic that evolved from the very language of Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles and Disciples.
