St. Michael's & Ss. Peter & Paul Churches.

Announcements & Helpful Links Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has announced that he has chosen our own Bishop William as the new Archbishop of Pittsburgh and Metropolitan of the Byzantine Catholic Church in the USA. Metropolitan-Designate William will be enthroned on on Wednesday, April 18th, 2012. May God grant to his servant, our new Metropolitan, many happy, healthy and fruitful years! This year's Pre-Cana instruction will be held on two consecutive Sundays: March 18th & 25th. If you are planning on getting married this year, now is the time to let Father Michael know, as only he can register you for this required instruction. Father's deadline for submitting couples for the event is March 11th; so, you must let him know before then. This year's Wedding Jubilarian Celebration will be on Sunday, March 18th, in Minersville. The celebration is for those married for years that are multiples of five (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.). If this means you, then please leave a message for Loretta at the rectory and let her know.
