St. Ann Melkite Catholic Church
Who We Are
Introducing...
Saint Ann Melkite Catholic Church is a local parish of the
Melkite Eparchy of Newton

Founded by Syrian immigrants in the early part of the last century, it is a faith community that has, thank God, withstood many trials and tribulations. Today we continue to witness to the Gospel of Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ throughout New Jersey with members from the Northwest corner of the state to the Jersey Shore and to the Southwest almost to Trenton.

Melkites are Christians of the ancient Patriarchate of Antioch. Catholic but not Roman, Byzantine in Tradition, brothers and sisters of the Orthodox East.
