Nuestra Señora del Líbano, Montevideo

The Church of Our Lady of Lebanon (Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Líbano) is a Maronite (Eastern Catholic) parish church in the neighbourhood of Sayago, Montevideo, Uruguay.

Uruguay has a strong presence of Lebanese immigrants and their offspring. In 1888, some of them asked the Roman Catholic bishop Inocencio María Yéregui for permission to have their own sacraments celebrated by a Maronite priest. Since 1924, the Maronite Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary is also in Montevideo. Their own parish was established on 30 November 1941. The present temple was built in 1984–1986, designed by engineer Eladio Dieste; it is dedicated to Our Lady of Lebanon.
