Pittsburgh reminds Catholics: it’s a big Church

September 16, 2014 by Deacon Greg Kandra
(CNS) An all-night vigil Sept. 13-14 at a Byzantine Catholic church in Pittsburgh provided an opportunity for people of faith to participate in the prayers of the various Catholic churches that are “essential facets” of the culturally, ethnically and religiously diverse city of Pittsburgh.
St. John Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church hosted “Crossing the Universe: The Faces of Catholicism,” which commemorated the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
“Crossing the Universe” was a first for the Pittsburgh region and offered an opportunity for children and families, students and adults of all ages to learn about the collective family of the Catholic Church.
Celebrants included Archbishop William C. Skurla of the Byzantine Catholic Archeparchy of Pittsburgh and Bishop David A. Zubik of Latin-rite Diocese of Pittsburgh.
