Our Lady's Maronite Parish belongs to the Eparchy (diocese) of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles, one of the two Maronite dioceses in the United States. The Eparchy consists of over thirty-five parishes located in major American cities from the Smoky Mountains westward (all states other than the states which touch the Atlantic ocean). Our Lady's parish boundaries cover all of central Texas and we are a sister parish to the Maronite parishes in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.
 
Our diocese was created in 1994 and originally had the chancery located in Los Angeles. Our bishop, Robert J. Shaheen, was consecrated and enthroned on February 16, 2002. He is the second bishop of our young diocese (Gr. eparchy) and resides in St. Louis, Missouri in the new and beautiful chancery on the grounds of St. Raymonds Cathedral.
