St. Maron's Cathedral, Buenos Aires, Maronite Catholic cathedral in Buenos Aires, Argentina
St. Maron's Cathedral is a church building in Buenos Aires that features twelve Neo-Classical columns across its front and a triangular gable with biblical imagery. Located at 834 Paraguay Street, the structure contains spaces for worship and community gatherings.
The structure began as a chapel next to a school in 1905 and evolved into a full cathedral that opened in 2001. This transformation reflects the growth and development of the Maronite community in the city over the decades.
The cathedral serves as a gathering place for the Maronite community, where Eastern Christian traditions meet Western liturgical practices in daily worship. The space reflects how this religious group maintains its identity and traditions in Buenos Aires.
Regular worship services and special ceremonies take place throughout the year at this central Buenos Aires location on Paraguay Street. The downtown setting makes it accessible for visitors interested in attending celebrations or exploring the building during opening hours.
The building has served as the seat of the Maronite Eparchy of San Charbel since 1990, a designation established by Pope John Paul II. This role makes it a spiritual center for Maronites across South America and beyond.
