We are one of 22 Ritual Churches that comprise the Catholic Church headquartered in Rome with Pope Benedict as it’s head. We are part of the Byzantine Catholic Metropolia of Pittsburgh, and the Eparchy of Passaic. We celebrate the Liturgy and the Sacraments according to the Eastern Byzantine Tradition akin to the Russian and Greek Orthodox churches, but we are in full communion with the Catholic Church. Our Church is founded on Jesus Christ as revealed through the Sacred Scriptures and the Teachings of the Apostles passed down through the Holy Traditions Fr. Edward Cimbala, pastor of St. Mary’s since July 1, 2002, was ordained to the Holy Priesthood by Bishop Michael J. Dudick on May 8th, 1988, and he celebrated his first Divine Liturgy one week later. His bio is here. |
