The cathedral with the bishop's palace were built during the episcopate of Germanos Mouakkad; the church was consecrated by Eparch Agapitos Malouf in 1897. Bishop Germanos Mouakkad was the founder of the Society of the Missionaries of St. Paul. On November 18, 1964 this eparchy was elevated to the rank of archeparchy.
The territory of the archeparchy includes Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, and its environs; much of Mount Lebanon governorate (to the north Antelias, Jounieh, and Byblos; to the east Baabda, Broumana, and Bikfaya) and south to part of Chouf District. [2] The archeparchy has an estimated population of 200,000 Melkite faithful in 2015.
