  2. About Our Faith Monsignor Joseph Takchi, the leader of all priests in our community. We are an eastern catholic community from Lebanon our community started when a man named Maron wanted to start a Christian community. Originally Lebanon believed in great gods, they believed that there was a lot of gods. Maron didn’t believe in that he believed there was only one god and gathered people to start another faith a Christian Catholic faith. They started a small community but over the years it grew and grew and Maron got more people to believe in one god. After a few years past maron took his parish high up in the mountains and made his own church. He started to teach people about God and how you go to church every Sunday to repay him for all the things he did for us. The whole community started to name themselves Maronites after there teacher Maron. Head Of The Maronite Church Patriarch Bechara Rai
