About Us
The Byzantine Catholic Church is an Eastern Church in union with Rome; Carpatho-Rusyn in background and flavor, but indeed an American Eastern Church celebrating the Gospel in words, symbols, and action. We are unique in our mystical theology, blending the colors of our many icons with the congregational a cappella chants; raising up our hands and our fragrant incense in prayer and inviting you to come and see who we are and what we are all about as part of the Eastern half of the Universal Church.
Early History
The Byzantine Rite traces its origins to the missionary work of Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century, who brought Christianity to the Slavs using the Slavonic language. The Ruthenian Rite was formally united with Rome in 1646 and later established in America in the 19th and 20th centuries. The parish is part of the Byzantine-Ruthenian Metropolitan Province of Pittsburgh and the Eparchy of Passaic.
