We have Greek, Russian, Coptic, and Ethiopian Orthodox here, but not enough congregants of any Eastern Catholic church to operate their own facility.

The young priest who served our parish last year was recently reassigned to St. Charbel Mission in Raleigh, NC. Not sure how far away that is for you but if you get the chance, you might consider attending mass there, at least once. The Maronite Divine Liturgy is chanted and his approach is one of the most beautiful I have ever experienced.

Rev. Elias Khalil, is te pastor.

Raleigh is about three hours from here. There is a Maronite liturgy held regularly in Charlotte; I don’t recall whether it’s at the high school or at one of the suburban parishes.

Fr. Elie, formerly at St. Sharbel (I checked their website) does the Maronite liturgy here. He did Mass at my parish sometime in the last year. I don’t remember which holiday it was.
