Funeral live streaming at St Maroun's Cathedral
Sydney's Maronite community has worshipped at St Maroun's since 1897, and the Redfern church became a cathedral in 1973. We stream funerals from 627 Elizabeth Street for families with relatives across Sydney and in Lebanon.
About St Maroun's Cathedral
St Maroun's was first set up in 1897, which makes it one of the oldest Maronite churches in Australia still in use. Pope Paul VI created the Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Saint Maron of Sydney in 1973 and made St Maroun's its cathedral. Services are in Arabic and English.
Many Maronite families first settled around Redfern before moving further out, so a funeral at St Maroun's can draw people from all over Sydney. Many also have relatives in Lebanon. We stream the service to a private link and give the family a recording to send overseas.

Questions families ask
Can a funeral at St Maroun's Cathedral be live streamed?
Yes. Your funeral director asks the priests at St Maroun's before the day, since filming inside the cathedral needs their agreement. We then take care of everything on Elizabeth Street. The family receives the private link to share, and a full recording after the service.
Where do mourners park for St Maroun's in Redfern?
St Maroun's is at 627 Elizabeth Street in inner-city Redfern, where parking is mostly on the street. Allow extra time to find a spot. Relatives who cannot make the trip can watch the funeral live on the private link or later on the recording.
