This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5) |
The goal of byzcath.org is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ by providing information about His Church on earth, focusing on the Byzantine Catholic Church and the other Churches of the Christian East. If you work in communications for your local Eastern Christian Church (eparchy or diocese, Catholic or Orthodox) please consider contributing your official news and information directly to this website. ByzCath.org is read by thousands of unique individuals each day. We can help you build up the Church in your local community by making your message instantly accessible to anyone who accesses the internet.
If you are interested in contributing you can do so directly (we'll set up an account for you) or indirectly (by e-mailing us the news about your local Church). If you already publish your eparchial / diocesan news on your own official website reposting it on byzcath.org can help drive traffic to your site (since a link back to your site can be added to every news story).
Do you have photos of an event in your local Church? Send them to us! We may feature them in our "We Follow Christ" pictorial showing life in the church

Behold! The Wood of the Cross!
Save Your people, O Lord, and bless Your inheritance. Grant victory to Your Church over her enemies, and protect Your people by Your Cross.

Wisdom from the Church Fathers
“It is necessary most of all for one who is fasting to curb anger, to accustom himself to meekness and condescension, to have a contrite heart, to repulse impure thoughts and desires, to examine his conscience, to put his mind to the test and to verify what good has been done by us in this or any other week, and which deficiency we have corrected in ourselves in the present week. This is true fasting.” Saint John Chrysostom |
