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

Byzantine Catholic Audio Feed with Father Thomas Loya

Mary Magdalene, and the other women who were present at the burial of our Savior on Friday evening, returned from Golgotha to the city and prepared fragrant spices and myrrh, so that they might anoint the body of Jesus.  

 

Because of the law which forbids work on the day of the Sabbath, they rested for the whole day.  But at early dawn on the Sunday that followed, they came to the sepulcher with the spices to anoint His body.  As they asked each other, “Who will rock back the stone”?  there was a fearful earthquake; and an Angel, whose countenance shone like lightning and whose garment was white as snow, rolled away the stone and sat upon it. The guards that were there became as dead from fear and took to flight.  

The women, went into the sepulcher, but did not find the Lord's body. Instead, they saw two other Angels in the form of youths clothed in white, who told them that the Savior was risen, and they sent forth the women, who ran to proclaim to the disciples these gladsome tidings.
