Who and what are "Maronite Catholics"?
In the first place, we are Catholics: our orders and sacraments are recognized as valid by Catholic churches throughout the world. Any Catholic can fulfill his obligations to attend mass at any Maronite church, just as we are admitted to communion in all Catholic churches throughout the world. We are an Eastern "rite" of the universal Catholic Church, according to The Catholic Encyclopedia, there are nine different Eastern rites practicing in the United States.
