Its faithful, assigned from the 18th century to the Holy See in Rome, employ the Arabic language and the Byzantine rite.

The Archbishop Vicar (or Eparca) starting in 2006 was Youssef Absi, former Superior General of the Society of Missionaries of St. Paul. On June 21, 2017, he was elected as the Melkite Greek Patriarch.{{cite web|title=Joseph Absi elected patriarch of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church|url=https://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2017/Jun-21/410401-joseph-absi-elected-patriarch-of-the-melkite-greek-catholic-church.ashx|website=The Daily Star (Lebanon)|accessdate=21 June 2017|archive-date=18 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118150343/http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2017/Jun-21/410401-joseph-absi-elected-patriarch-of-the-melkite-greek-catholic-church.ashx|url-status=dead}}

The cathedral is dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin, the Eastern Christian "counterpart" to the Latin Church doctrine of the assumption of Mary.
