+Every now-and-again Father Mitch Pacwa . . . is the celebrant for the exquisitely beautiful Maronite Mass broadcast occassionally on EWTN . . .
**. . . :coffeeread: . . . **
The **Syriac Maronite Church **of Antioch (Ecclesia Maronitarum) is an Eastern Catholic Church **in full communion with the Holy See of Rome **(in other words, Maronites are part of the Catholic Church). It traces its heritage back to the community founded by Maron, a 4th-century Syriac monk venerated as a saint. The first Maronite Patriarch, John Maron, was elected in the late 7th century. Although reduced in numbers today, Maronites remain one of the principal ethno-religious groups in Lebanon. The Maronite Church asserts that it has always remained true to the Church of Rome.[2]
Before the conquest by Arabian Muslims reached Lebanon, the Lebanese people, including those who would become Muslim and the majority who would remain Christian, spoke a dialect of Aramaic.[3][4][5] Syriac (Christian Aramaic) still remains the liturgical language of the Maronite Church.[6] The members of the Maronite Church are a part of the Syriac people; though they have, over time, developed a distinctive Maronite character, this has not obscured their Antiochene and Syriac origin.[7][8]
St Maron (died sometime between 406 and 423AD), founder of the Maronite spiritual movement. Since the 17th century, his feast day has been celebrated on February 9.The followers of **Jesus Christ **first became known as “Christians” in Antioch (Acts 11:26), and the city became a center for Christianity - especially after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. According to Catholic tradition, the first Bishop was Saint Peter before his travels to Rome. The third Bishop was the Apostolic Father Ignatius of Antioch. Antioch became one of the five original Patriarchates (the Pentarchy) after Constantine recognized Christianity.
St. Maron, a fourth-century monk and the contemporary and friend of St. John Chrysostom, left Antioch for the Orontes River to lead an ascetic life, following the traditions of Anthony the Great of the Desert and Pachomius. Many of his followers also lived a monastic lifestyle. Following the death of Maron in 410 AD, his disciples built a monastery in his memory and formed the nucleus of the Maronite Church.
The Maronites held fast to the beliefs of the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. When 350 monks were slain by the Monophysites of Antioch, the Maronites sought refuge in the mountains of Lebanon. Correspondence concerning the event brought papal and orthodox recognition of the Maronites, which was solidified by Pope Hormisdas (514-523 AD) on February 10, AD 518. A monastery was built around the shrine of St. Maro after the Council of Chalcedon.

I think it was formed much later then his death. The chalcedonian syriacs elected a John Maron to the throne of Peter in Antioch since it was vacant due to the greek patriarch fleeing. I wish I could recall the date or time period though.The Maronite Church wasent formed untill Maron died . The church is named after him in honor of him.

No , Marons disciples named the church " Maronite " in honor of him after his death…I think it was formed much later then his death.

First maronite patriarch of Antioch. So before John Maron, the maronites were part of the chalcedonian patriarchate of Antioch. Afterwards, they formed their own church and the Greeks in Antioch became known as the melkites.
The maronites were the spiritual children of St. Maron, but he himself did not found a church.

The beginning of the Maronite Church is not synonymous with the election of St John Maron. The year 685 marked the beginning of the Maronite Patriachate, not the Church.

Just a question.The beginning of the Maronite Church is not synonymous with the election of St John Maron. The year 685 marked the beginning of the Maronite Patriachate, not the Church.
How can there be a Maronite Patriachate but no Maronite Church?
A patriachate is a part of a Church, how can it exist independent from a Church?

Before the election of John Maron the maronites were just syriac chalcedonians in the patriarchate of antioch.
