The Archangel Gabriel said, “Fear not, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John: He shall be great in the sight of the Lord.”
Luke 1:5-15
Universal
The Byzantine Catholic church is in full communion with the pope of Rome. We profess our faith through the beautiful and mystical liturgical traditions of the Byzantine Rite.
Traditional
The Byzantine Church proves the authenticity of its teaching with the teaching of the living Spirit, through the uninterrupted faithfulness to the word of God by His Apostles and their successors.
Popular
Byzantine liturgies are not a duty to be discharged, but an experience to be lived, unfolding the meaning of the Church as the Body of Christ through constant motion and personal participation.
Mystical
Byzantine spirituality reveals the intelligence to God, not in order to learn about God but to discover God; not to know about Him but to know Him, to experience God in one’s own life.
Our Parish
We celebrate the Liturgy of the Byzantine Rite. Our theological traditions originated in Constantinople, the capital city of the Byzantine Empire, and one of the most glorious civilizations in human history.
Our History
Our Byzantine-Ruthenian Catholic parish traces its beginning to 1929, when a group of dedicated Eastern Europeans gathered to make plans to erect a church in which they could worship according to their Eastern Catholic traditions. Read More
Hierarchs
The Byzantine-Ruthenian Church sui iuris (“of its own right”) is self-governing and equal in dignity to the Roman Catholic Church. We are in communion with the Bishop of Rome, though the Byzantine Church is unique in its clergy, laws, institutions, liturgies, forms of spirituality, and methods of theology.
