On Monday, January 23, our Holy Father, Pope Francis appointed Bishop Kurt Burnette as Apostolic Administrator sede vacante of the Eparchy of Parma and the Eparchy of Phoenix in addition to his duties as Bishop of the Eparchy of Passaic and Apostolic Administrator sede vacante of the Eparchy of Toronto. The Holy Father has also appointed Bishop Milan Lach, SJ as Auxiliary Bishop of the Eparchy of Bratislava in Slovakia. Please keep in your prayers Bishop Burnette and Bishop Lach, as well as the Eparchies of Parma and Phoenix, during this time of transition. The Eparchy of Parma extends many thanks to Bishop Lach for his service and love to the faithful of the Eparchy of Parma over the last five years, and extends a warm welcome to Bishop Burnette in his new ministry in guiding us as our shepherd.
Please see below for messages from Bishop Burnette and Bishop Lach.
When you walk in faith you continue the work of God. The Eparchy’s future is marked by one thing above all: hope. This is said with certainty because the Eparchy’s future has the same foundation as its past: Jesus Christ. What better foundation is there?
Thankfully, we have an opportunity to help build the Kingdom of God in a particular way: by supporting the Eparchy’s Stewardship Appeal. Won’t you please show your support with a gift today?
