"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 eleventh year, byzcath.org is expanding 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.

We bow to Your Cross, O Master, and we praise Your holy Resurrection!

Wisdom from the Church Fathers
| First of all it must be understood that it is the duty of all Christians - especially of those whose calling dedicates them to the spiritual life - to strive always and in every way to be united with God, their creator, lover, benefactor, and their supreme good, by Whom and for Whom they were created. This is because the center and the final purpose of the soul, which God created, must be God Himself alone, and nothing else - God whom Whom the soul has received its life and its nature, and for Whom it must eternally live. St. Dimitry of Rostov |
