The "Ships" have set sale in the Eparchy of Parma—
Missionary DiscipleSHIP, FellowSHIP, WorSHIP and Sacrificial StewardSHIP and these "ships" are taking our entire Eparchy of Parma in the direction of an exciting new vision and strategic plan.
All clergy and laity of our Byzantine Catholic parishes in northern Indiana are asked to attend a luncheon and presentation on Sunday, January 11ᵗʰ at St. Michael's Byzantine Catholic Church in Merrillville Indiana to learn how Byzantine Catholics in northern Indiana can be a vital part of this new vision and strategic plan. The luncheon will begin following the 10:00am Liturgy at St. Michael's.
Presentations will be given by Fr. Thomas J. Loya, Protopresbyter of the Midwest region, Fr. Andrew Summerson, pastor of St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church in Whiting Indiana and administrator of St. Nicholas parish in Munster, Indiana and Fr. Michal Bucko, pastor of St. Michael's parish in Merrillville Indiana. The day will conclude by 3:00pm. Sign-ups are needed for the luncheon.
