MARONITE CATHOLIC CHURCH

THE MARONITES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM 

​

In 1974, following the Turkish invasion in Cyprus, a large number of the Cypriot Maronite community fled their country and found refuge in London.

The following year, 1975, saw the outbreak of war in Lebanon, and the latter led to the massive emigration of Lebanese Maronites to various parts of the world, including London. In 1983, the Lebanese Maronite Order opened its mission in London, and has been serving the growing community of Maronites, both Lebanese and Cypriot, ever since.
