Melkite Catholic Archeparchy of Tyre, Metropolitan Catholic Archeparchy in Tyre, Lebanon.
The Melkite Catholic Archeparchy of Tyre extends across southwestern Lebanon, covering the District of Tyre and parts of Nabatieh Governorate, spanning 1,500 square kilometers.
The religious institution traces its origins to the New Testament period when the church of Tyre was mentioned during Paul's missionary journey through the region.
The Saint Thomas Cathedral, constructed in 1752, incorporates Gothic architectural elements and contains archaeological remains of a 12th-century church beneath its foundations.
The archeparchy currently serves approximately 3,100 baptized members through ten parishes, with its administrative center located at Saint Thomas Cathedral in Tyre.
During the 1982 Lebanon War, Bishop Georges Haddad prevented a tank attack by standing in its path, protecting civilians within the cathedral complex.
