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.

We are one of 22 Ritual churches that comprise the Catholic Church headquartered in Rome with Pope Benedict as its head. We are part of the Byzantine Catholic Metropolia of Pittsburgh and the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Van Nuys

We celebrate the Liturgy and the Sacraments according to the Eastern Byzantine Tradition akin to the Russian and Greek Orthodox, but we are in full communion with the Catholic Church.
