FOCUS ON VOCATIONS
Please pray that God will
raise up vocations
from among our faithful here on Long
Island!
How much do YOU know about
the vocational options
available to men and women in the
Byzantine Catholic Church? |

You can learn a lot about

that trains our
priests and deacons here:

gave our Lenten mission last year? His religious community
is the Byzantine Franciscan Friars in Sybertsville
