New Metropolitan Archbishop Appointed
Dear Parishioners of St. Basil's:
For a year and a half, since the passing of Archbishop Basil, the Archeparchy has been without an Archbishop. It was announced today, from Rome, that the Most Reverend William C. Skurla, the Bishop of Passaic, has been officially appointed Metropolitan Archbishop of the Byzantine Archeparchy of Pittsburgh. Bishop William will be enthroned as the Metropolitan Archbishop on Wednesday, April 18th, 2012 in the Cathedral Church of St. John the Baptist in Munhall, Pennsylvania.
Please keep Bishop William, our Archeparchy and the entire Metropolitan Church in your prayers during this time of transition. Our national church faces unprecedented challenges which will require a creative vision, great courage and strong faith. Let us pray that God grants these gifts to our new archbishop as he begins this new task.
Yours In Christ,
Fr. Daniel
