Annual Pilgrimage:
The 2009 pilgrimage will be held on Friday and Saturday, August
21-22. Check back here in the coming months for updated news and information
about the next pilgrimage.
The 2008 pilgrimage took place on Friday and Saturday, August
22-23. The weekend was filled with many opportunities for
prayer, reflection, reconciliation, and fellowship. Our new bishop,
Bishop Gerald Dino, was with us for the first at the pilgrimage.
Also Fr. Christopher Zugger, author of The Forgotten, offered a
presentation on Mary and the growth of the Byzantine Catholic Church
in the United States. In addition, the Byzantine Challenge took
on the form of a contest between teams of five
members who competed against each other in answering questions
related to Church history, the sacraments, and Catholic beliefs. The
winning teams received monetary prizes. For more information go to:
