Byzantine Catholics kick off Great Lent with focus on need for forgiveness from God, each other

Recently featured in the St. Louis Review! Parishioners at St. Louis Byzantine Catholic Church participated in Forgiveness Vespers to welcome the penitential season.

Sacraments are celebrated by five bi-ritual priests: Father Joe Weber, Father Paul Niemann, Father James Theby, Father James Deshotels, SJ, and Father Steven Hawkes-Teeples, SJ. As part of the Eucharistic Revival, the St. Louis Mission will be hosting a Come and See, where Catholics are invited to experience how the West meets the East in the sacred celebration of the Eucharist. Sessions will be held at 2 p.m. at St. Louis Byzantine Catholic Church on April 16 and 23 and May 7 and 28. Spots are limited. To register, visit archstl.flocknote.com/signup/110733.
