Maronite Eparchy Of Saint Maron Of Sydney
The Roman Catholic Maronite Eparchy of St Maroun is a Maronite rite eparchy of the Catholic Church in Australia, based in Sydney. Erected in 1973, the Eparchy is attached to the Archdiocese of Sydney but immediately subject to the Holy See.
Like all Catholic dioceses it is a member of the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference. The Roman Catholic Church is made up of the Latin or Western Catholic Church and 21 Eastern Catholic Churches, one of which is the Maronite Church. The Eparchy is non-geographic, but demographic in that it has Australia-wide jurisdiction wherever Maronites are found. It has many churches, schools, nursing homes and other institutions in all capital cities.
