The Lebanese in Lawrence MA Lawrence residents frequently referred to their Arabic-speaking Middle Eastern community as "Syrian". In fact, most so-called Syrians in Lawrence were from present-day Lebanon, and were largely Maronite Christian. Lebanese immigrants organized St. Anthony’s Maronite Church in 1903 . Pictured here is St. George’s Orthodox Church, the oldest Greek Orthodox-rite Church in the United States.
