More about the Damascus Partnership:  In the Fall of 2016, Archbishop Hebda and others determined that our brothers and sisters in the Middle East would not face the increasingly difficult situation of living in the Middle East alone.

A partner diocese was identified to accompany us in a journey of faith through the challenges of our times.

On January 25th, 2017, the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul (the patronal feast Day of the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis), our Archdiocese formalized a partnership with the Maronite Archeparchy of Damascus (this is the faith community that received and baptized St. Paul and sent him forth as Apostle to the Gentiles.)

The Damascus Partnership offers a unique opportunity to learn from one another.
