Maronite Catholic Archeparchy of Tyre, Catholic Archieparchy in Tyre, Lebanon
The Maronite Catholic Archeparchy of Tyre extends its jurisdiction over several Lebanese districts, including Tyre, Hasbaya, Nabatiye, and Marjayoun regions.
The formal division of Maronite dioceses occurred in 1736 following decisions made during the Mount Lebanon Synod, with papal confirmation in 1742.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Seas in Tyre serves as the central place of worship for 42,755 Maronite Catholics across 22 parishes.
The current Archbishop Charbel Abdallah, appointed in November 2020, oversees 34 priests who provide religious services throughout the archeparchy.
The jurisdiction received elevation to archeparchy status in 1965, adopting the expanded name of Tyre and Holy Land.
