History
From 1918 with the consecration of Mor Severus Aphram Barsoum, all Lebanon was under the juridiction of Archdiocese of Lebanon and Syria with its seat in Homs. In 1922 Patriarch Ignatius Elias III visited his faithful in Beirut.[1] The first bishop with residence in Beirut was appointed in 1933 at the head of Archdiocese of Beirut and Damascus. With the new archdiocese of Mount Lebanon, Tripoli and south of Lebanon in 1973, was reduced to the cities of Beirut and Zahle. And with the implementation of the Patriarchal Vicariate of Zahle in 1999 reduced to the city of Beirut only.
