About This Website

"Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.” (Mark 15:16)

ByzCath.org was launched in October 1996 to provide information about the Byzantine Catholic Church in America. Now, in its second decade, byzcath.org is wiorking to expand to provide information about all the Eastern Christian Churches with more information about the Faith (including downloadable resources), "News of the Christian East" and upgraded messageboards.

ByzCath.org is an unofficial site. We strive to provide an accurate presentation of Church Teachings. If you believe we have failed in this task please let us know.

As this site expands we hope to contribute to the “New Evangelization” of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

About the site design:

This site is designed for screens with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or higher. Users with older screens (800 x 600 pixels) will find that some of the screen layouts are not ideal. Since it is impossible for us to design the site so that it looks the same on every type of monitor and with every type of browser we have designed it to be viewed on the screens that are most popular. If you have problems with this website please let us know so that we can investigate and, if possible, correct the problem.

Prayer for Life

O Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son, enlighten the minds and hearts of those blinded to the truth that life begins at conception so that they may see that the pre-born in the womb is already adorned with Your image and likeness. Enable us to guard, cherish and protect the lives of all those who are unable to care for themselves. For You are the Bestower of Life, bringing each man from non-being into being, sealing each with your divine and infinite love and we glorify you together with Your Father, Who is without beginning, and your all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Wisdom from the Church Fathers

Every man baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in Baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through keeping the Commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression.

St. Gregory of Sinai
