The Melkite Greek Catholic Church has a colourful history. The St Peter and Paul Melkite Church in Hampton Park, Victoria, is a testament to their resilience and faith. With its roots in the ancient Christians of Antioch, this church in Melbourne is a haven for the Melkite community.

The name ‘Melkite’ derives from the Semitic words for “king”, “melko” or “melek”. The Byzantine Emperor supported the teachings of the Council of Chalcedon in 451. Those who opposed the council called its supporters “The Royalists” (Malikiyeen). This insult aimed at all Christians, both Eastern and Western, who supported the Council of Chalcedon, became the name for the community.

Today, St Peter and Paul Melkite Church serves the local community in Hampton Park. It stands as a symbol of unity and faith, welcoming people of all backgrounds. You are welcome to join the congregation on Sundays, at 11:00 am, to experience the Melkite traditions.
