About St. Maron's Cathedral, Sydney

St. Maron’s Cathedral is a Maronite Catholic cathedral in Redfern, an inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales. The cathedral is at 627 Elizabeth Street, near the historic Lebanese settlement area around Redfern, Waterloo and Surry Hills. The Maronite Eparchy lists it as the cathedral of the Eparchy of Saint Maroun of Sydney and identifies Fr Geoffrey Abdallah as dean.

The first Maronite parish in Redfern was established on 10 January 1897, after Fathers Joseph Dahdah and Abdullah Yazbeck arrived in Sydney in 1893 to serve the growing Maronite community. The present church site therefore represents more than a century of Maronite Catholic worship and community life in Sydney. The Maronite Heritage Centre, on the cathedral grounds, preserves religious objects, church furniture, texts, letters and records connected with the early Maronite community in New South Wales.

This is an active place of worship and the cathedral’s official parish website provides current parish information for visitors and worshippers. The site is associated with the Maronite Eparchy of Australia, New Zealand and Oceania, whose official directory lists the cathedral’s telephone number and Redfern address.
