Cultural Center opens marriage initiative exhibit ‘Love and Life in the Divine Plan’ PARMA — The Bishop Emil J. Mihalik Byzantine Catholic Cultural Center opened its marriage initiative exhibit, “Love and Life in the Divine Plan,” on Sunday, Oct. 24. Prior to viewing the exhibit, Father Thomas Loya gave a presentation in the church on the relevance of the Byzantine Catholic marriage ritual – to the couple being married and to the world. After the talk, the people moved to the second floor lobby to be greeted by a large artificial wedding cake; Bishop John cut a smaller real cake to officially open the exhibit. Moving down the hall, viewers saw photos of couples of the eparchy interspersed with posters of marriage ideals and quotes. Once inside the cultural center, people moved through period rooms and explored the exhibit in detail. More photos of wedding couples adorned one of the walls. Special spaces for boys and girls provided hands-on experiences for them. The exhibit is dedicated to the late Metropolitan Basil of Pittsburgh. It is open on Sundays, 12-3 p.m., and on Wednesdays, 4-7 p.m., through June 26, 2011. Video Run Time is 56 Minutes

EasternChristianMedia.com has been developed to promote and preserve the rich heritage of the many Eastern Christian Churches throughout the world. It is an open forum to all Eastern Christians, Catholics and Orthodox alike, in order to retain and promote the cultural beauty and traditions of these ancient religions. Our new broadband broadcast network internet site will serve as a media center for all information and programming done by and for the Eastern Christian Churches. Newly launched on March 14, 2009 EasternChristianMedia.com consist of current events, informational dialogues, feature stories, blog sites, tweet and twitter, face book and most often asked questions about the Eastern Churches. We hope to open the door to a flood of information pouring forth from various sources, the Church, the priests, clergy, and the people themselves. With the use of modern technology the younger members of the Church will most certainly become involved with the ByzanTEEN section. Rather than going door to door to spread the word of Christ, we will be entering homes through modern technology, the internet. We hope you will share our vision of doing what Jesus commanded, …”Go ye therefore and teach all nations”….and join us in becoming a viable part of today’s evangelization. We welcome and encourage any comments that can assist us in reaching our goal. |
