St. Ignatius of Antioch Maronite Church Has a Larger New Home | Dayton, OH

By Fr. Alex Harb

After years of hoping for a larger church and hall, St. Ignatius of Antioch Maronite Church in Dayton, OH, has recently purchased a former Lutheran church with a 250-seat sanctuary, stain glass, pipe organ, a large hall, and classrooms, located on a nearly 5-acre plot. The first liturgy was celebrated on 4 August. Parishioners rejoiced at the purchase and have settled comfortably into our new home. The parish has big hopes for the campus as a place for spiritual growth, evangelization, outreach, and social gatherings.
