I am new to the Maronite catholic church , and I was wondering if I can ask some questions about the teachings of the church.

My first question is , are all of our saint feast days celebrated on the same days the Roman Rite has it set up?..

The general rule is that in the universal Catholic holidays are10, from which the Latin church will observe, transfer, or abrogate locally, but the eastern Catholic churches use these:

The Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ (Christmas) - Dec 25
Epiphany (Baptism of Christ) = Theophany - Jan 6
Thursday of the sixth week of Easter: the Ascension
Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, Apostles - Jun 29
The Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Aug 15

CCEO 880 … Holy days of obligation common to all the Eastern Churches, beyond Sundays, are the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Dormition of the Holy Mary Mother of God and the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul except for the particular law of a Church sui iuris approved by the Apostolic See which suppresses a holy days of obligation or transfers them to a Sunday.
