All are welcome, come join us! Our congregation is comprised of many diverse ethnic backgrounds. Our Byzantine Catholic parish keeps alive the tradition of the Eastern Church in the Ruthenian Byzantine rite. However we are not an ethnic parish and welcome anyone interested in joining our beautiful liturgical celebration. If you do not have a church where you feel like you belong we invite you to consider making Patronage your spiritual home. The Catholic Church is a communion of churches, both Western (Roman) and Eastern. As Catholics, we share the same faith and same sacraments but a distinctive expression or rite in regards to liturgy and customs. Sunday obligation is fulfilled by attending any Catholic Church of any tradition/rite.
