Since the church was established in the late 19th century, official records are not available to document the achievements of the individual priests and reflect on their work and mission. What is available at this time are the years the priests served at the church.

Father Wakim Gehchan was the first priest of the Church. According to the book “The Church and the Orthodox Community in Ras Beirut” written by Michel Gebran Rbeiz,  the following priests served the church from 1860 till 1922:
