Welcome Guests:
All
are welcome. One need not be ethnically
Ukrainian to join this parish. The Ukrainian
Catholic Church is a church that comes from the
Ukrainian people, but is for the entire human
race.
We live out our
Catholic faith according to the Byzantine Rite,
which means that our theology, liturgy, spirituality
and canon law are non-Latin or non-Roman, while
maintaining full Eucharistic communion with the
Catholic Church in Rome. More information is
available on our
about us
page.
An historical landmark, St. John's is located in the
heart of Pittsburgh, just minutes from downtown.
Plan to visit us soon.
Please
take some time to look around our site, and be sure
to let us know what you think by signing our guest
book.
Great Fast 2010 Resources
-
Great Fast Scripture Readings - The readings for
Saturdays, Sundays and Feasts, as well as weekdays
of Lent,
but you need a Bible (preferably with Septuagint Old
Testament) to look up the readings on your own.
-
Great Fast Reading 2 - There are no epistles and
gospels on Mondays thru Fridays during Lent in the
Byzantine Tradition. The “.pdf” file only lists
Mondays thru Fridays during the Great Fast, but it’s
complete - you do not need a Bible. For the
March 2010 readings calendar

"The memory of the
just is celebrated with hymns of praise, but the
Lord's testimony is enough for thee, O Forerunner,
for thou wast granted to Baptize in the river
Jordan, Him whom thou didst proclaim. Then having
endured great suffering for the Truth, thou didst
rejoice to bring, even to those in Hell, the good
tidings that God had appeared in the flesh, to take
away the sins of the world, and to grant to us all
his great mercy."
