Parochial Visit in Fontana, CA
he weekend prior to his visit to us at Saint
Nicholas of Myra Byzantine Catholic
Church in Fontana, California our bishop,
Most Reverend Gerald N Dino, was enjoying the greenery, coolness and beauty of Washington
State in order to ordain one of our men to the diaconate at our parish in Seattle.
The evening of his and Father Wes Izer’s arrival in
Fontana,
was
marked
with cold
weather,
some
winds
whipping
down
from the
San Bernardino
Joan and Michael Bado present the gifts of bread
and salt to Bishop Gerald
Mountains and a bit of rain and drizzle.
Perfect setting for an Agatha Christie novel, but also
perfect setting to mark the joy of an episcopal visit
to our parish community. For with rain comes the
springing forth of the greenery, plants, trees and all
that marks the beauty of what is known in our part of
California as the Inland Empire.
The visit was an opportunity to see, visit and speak
MAY - JUNE, 2015
with our parish family. In our humble parish, we have
very little materially and have a small parish church
population, but we gave our hospitality from the heart
and are grateful to our bishop for coming out to see us,
spend time with us, hear us and encourage us to move
forward united in one heart and mind directed toward
Christ Our Lord.
Past years were marked with somberness, grey
clouds and the tolling of the death knell. However,
one forgets easily that in order to rise to new life in
Christ, each and every one of us must die in Christ in
order to rise to new life in Him. Is that not what we
sing in the Easter praises?
At Saint Nicholas of Myra Byzantine Catholic
Church, it is now time for the faithful to harken to the
voice of Our Risen Lord Jesus Christ as we seek to live
it in our liturgy, responding not with despondency and
indifference, but with strength, fervor, love and true joy
rooted in Christ.
Pray for us in
this parish, one
of the two historic ones of our
metropolia in this
part of California.

GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST
Campaign For Adult Education Center Begins
Las Vegas, NV – On Sunday, May 17th, Our Lady of
Wisdom Byzantine Catholic Church officially began a
campaign to raise funds to build an Eastern Christian
Formation Institute on the parish grounds. Bishop
Gerald was present to help jump-start the campaign by
celebrating the weekend Liturgies and preaching.
In his homily, Bishop Gerald quoted the Sunday
Gospel in which Jesus said: “Eternal life is this: to
know you the only true God…” (Jn. 17: 3). These
words of Jesus perfectly state the reason why Father
Francis Vivona, the Pastor of Our Lady of Wisdom
Parish, wishes to build this Institute of learning: to
help his parishioners and the people in the surrounding
community know “the only true God” so that they can
attain Eternal Life, not only in the hereafter, but also
in the here and now. “That term ‘Eternal Life’ means
to experience the splendor, the joy, the peace and the
holiness which is characteristic of the Life of God – not
only in the world to come, but also in this world.”
The brochure which was published announcing
the Institute states: “It will be an adult catechetical
and study environment, faithful to the teachings of the
Eastern Catholic Church and dedicated to the Church’s
call for a new evangelization”.
The parishioners and friends of Our Lady of Wisdom
Parish will be receiving pledge forms in August and are
encouraged to fulfill their pledges by August of 2018.

of the property it will be connected to.
After the Liturgy a hearty buffet was served for those in
attendance.

Clergy Conference Held in Phoenix, AZ
F
Clergy and Sisters from the Eparchy of Phoenix, during the conference in June.
rom Monday through Friday, June 1 – 5, the priests, deacons and subdeacons of the Eparchy of Phoenix
gathered for the annual Clergy Conference which was held at St. Stephen Cathedral Complex in Phoenix, AZ
The featured speakers during the conference included David Walker, a parishioner of the Mission of St.
John Chrysostom parish in Burlington, WA, and his co-worker, Michael Tschetter. They spoke about their
firm’s digital library called VERBUM. This library gives access to as many as 1,339 Catholic resources on Sacred Scripture, which if one was to purchase each resource individually would cost $30,000. Instead of reading
volumes of books individually, one can explore the entire library by topic or reference and follow ideas through
multiple texts. VERBUM is an excellent resource
for sermon preparation.
Canon Timothy O’Malley, who is the Clerke
of Works for the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona,
spoke of how to make the physical appearance of
our parish buildings so appealing that they
attract people to enter the church to investigate if
they might not want to worship there. Just the
physical appearance of the outside of the church
can be an evangelizing tool.
Jennifer Lang, a parishioner of St. Philip
Church in Sacramento, CA, spoke on Using the

James Danovich, a parishioner of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Phoenix who is a Certified Public Accountant,
reported on the financial status of the Eparchy and then spoke on the IRS Code in regards to Prizes, Donations
and withholding taxes for church employees. Insurance issues were covered by Jim Althans, from the Althans
Insurance agency, and Bert Reimann, from the Employee Benefits company. Each of the chairpersons of the
various Eparchial Departments and Commissions updated the clergy on the activities of each over the past year.
Finally, each Pastor shared the progress and activities of his parish during the past year.

A
celebration of Bishop Gerald’s 50th Anniversary
of Ordination to the Priesthood concluded the
annual Clergy Conference. On Thursday evening, June 4th , the entire clergy of the Eparchy and the
parishioners of St. Stephen’s Cathedral together with
some of the parishioners of St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Gilbert, AZ gathered in the cathedral for a concelebrated Liturgy of Thanksgiving. The main celebrant
and homilist was Bishop Gerald. Concelebrants included all of the priests that Bishop Gerald ordained to the
priesthood: Rev. Diodoro Mendoza, Rev. Brian Escobedo, Rev. Michael Mandelas and Rev. Artur Bubnevych.
The two deacons for the Liturgy were the two most
recently ordained deacons by Bishop Gerald: Deacon
Michael Melnick and Deacon Michael Bezruchka. Serving the Liturgy was Subdeacon Paul Kilroy from Our
Lady of Wisdom Italo-Greek parish in Las Vegas, NV.
Paul is a permanent Subdeacon whom Bishop Gerald
ordained in August of 2012.
The homily given by Bishop Gerald can be found on
Page 8 of this issue of the Newsletter.
Following the Liturgy there was a reception in the parish hall.
The following photos tell the rest of the story.

I
Bishop’s 50th Anniversary Sermon
want to thank all of you for attending this 50th
anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood.
Of course, I wish I could say that I am celebrating
my 50th birthday, but I didn’t think any of you would
believe that! No, it is my 50th anniversary of ordination
to the priesthood, which puts me closer to 75 years of
age.
Pope Francis, in his homily for Holy Thursday this
year, spoke about what God thinks of priests. He used
the words that God spoke of His love for King David
in the Old Testament and applied them to the priests
of today. God says in Psalm 89: “My Hand will be with
him; my arm will make him strong…..No enemy shall
outwit him, nor shall the wicked defeat him….My
loyalty and love will be with him…He shall cry to me:
‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock that brings me
victory’” (Ps. 89: 22f; 25; 27).
Pope Francis went on to say that these words of
Psalm 89 express the concern that God has for His
priests. WHY? Because God knows that the work of
the priest among the people sometimes is not easy. It is
demanding; it can tire a priest out. Many people have
such a high regard for the priesthood that they think we
priests have no intellectual, psychological or spiritual
defects. Many men don’t even want to consider the
priesthood as a vocation because they feel inadequate
knowing their own shortcomings. BUT, Pope Francis,
in his homily, spoke of how priests can become
tired and weary. He says that when this happens the
humanity of a priest can become very apparent.
SO, consider this: the author of the Letter to the
Hebrews in the New Testament (Ch. 5) defines a priest
as being a Human Being, a Man; someone “chosen
from among his fellow men and appointed to serve
God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for
himself as well as for the people” (Heb. 5:1). That’s the
Biblical definition of a priest! So, the priest is a Human
Being, a Man! HE IS NOT AN ANGEL! If he were an
angel, then he couldn’t be a priest – according to the
definition of the Bible. Since he is a Human Being, we
know that Human Beings are weak; they are imperfect;
they have shortcomings; they are capable of sin. Like
all of you, they can easily become angry; they can make
mistakes; they can become bitter; they can become
lonely, depressed and dejected. This is why priests have
8
to go to confession – just like all of you do.
So, why did God pick such an imperfect creature as
a man to do His work here on earth? Why not an angel? I can imagine that an angel would be more effective
than I am. Wouldn’t you rather have an angel standing
here preaching to you today? You wouldn’t be falling
asleep; your mind wouldn’t be wandering. You would
be sitting on the edge of the pew listening attentively
wondering what does this messenger of God have to say
to me? But, that is not what God wants! What you see
is what you get! ME!
The author of the Letter to the Hebrews tells us
why. He wrote: “He (the priest) is burdened with weakness in many ways, and because of this, he is able to be
gentle with those who are weak and make mistakes”,
(Heb. 5: 2).
Psalm 103 in the Old Testament substantiates this
idea. It says: “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on the faithful. He
knows how we are formed. He remembers that we are
made from the dust of the earth” (Ps 103: 13f ).
So, God wants someone who understands that he
also is made from the dust of the earth and, like any father, he is to have compassion on his spiritual children,
so that when you come to him with your problems,
when you go to confession to bare your soul and admit
your own weaknesses, shortcomings and sins, you can
expect a sympathetic ear to listen to you. The priest
understands because he himself is beset with weakness
– as the Letter to the Hebrews states. I think that God
really likes those who are weak.
In the Gospel of St. Mark, He says: “I pick the weak
to show up those who are strong.” In the Gospel of
St. Luke, He shows His utter contempt for those who
think that they are above weakness, above imperfection,
above sin.
In the Parable of the Publican and the Pharisee,
the Pharisee was so proud of himself. He even had to
remind God of how perfect he was: “I thank you God
that I am not greedy, dishonest or immoral like everybody else. I fast 2 days every week; I give you one tenth
of all my income. I thank you that I am not like that
Publican who is standing in the back of the synagogue.”
(Lk 18: 11f ). The Publican stood in the back of the
synagogue, “not even daring to raise his eyes to heaven.

Byzantine Catholic Outreach for Vistancia
in AZ
Submitted by Fr. Joseph Hutsko
B
ack in February of 2015, Fr. Joseph Hutsko
and Kathy Slonka, from the Pastoral Center
in Phoenix, AZ, drove up to the NW area of
Peoria, AZ where a booming home development area
is located. They met a realtor to get a better picture of
the area of Vistancia which is located almost 30 miles
from St. Stephen Cathedral, in Phoenix, AZ. This area
is a possible area for a Byzantine Catholic outreach. It
is located roughly around the 303 loop and Vistancia
Boulevard, an area a little south of Happy Valley Road.
Currently there is a Commercial Core and 3 residential areas, the Village of Vistancia, Blackstone Country
Club and Trilogy, a senior area. There is not a Catholic
Church within 10 miles of the area.
With people moving out to the West suburbs
and with increasing heavy traffic, it can be difficult for
people from the West Valley to come to St. Stephen on
a regular basis. In one of the manuals for evangelization
and starting outreaches and missions that was passed
out at a clergy conference some years ago, it gave guidelines and suggestions and one stated that most people
will generally not drive more than 30 miles to a Byzantine Catholic Church.
We are looking for help in the initial stages of
investigating the possibility of starting an outreach. We
would like parishioners from St. Stephen in Phoenix
and St. Thomas in Gilbert to let us know if they know
of anyone living in that area. Also if anyone from any
of our parishes in the Eparchy of Phoenix know anyone
living in Vistancia or any of the suburbs far west of
Phoenix to give us names to contact.
There is no church in the area to use and we
want to begin by renting space at a local elementary
school and to have an information night to invite
people to attend and look at the possibility of starting
an Outreach. Fr. Hutsko will need help in organizing this initial phase of establishing an outreach, so if
you can help, please contact him at his email address :
huts1009@roadrunner.com
Continued from Page 8
All he did was beat his breast and say: ‘O God be
merciful to me a sinner’” (Lk. 18: 13). Christ said
that it was the Publican who went home that evening
justified – NOT the Pharisee. AND, we priests must
constantly say that prayer of the Publican: “O God be
merciful to me a sinner.”
In our Byzantine Liturgy, the priest says that
prayer three times just before receiving Holy Communion. And so, the priest preaches the Faith that can
conquer the world and brings Grace that can make
saints out of sinners. BUT REMEMBER: the priests
that God sends us are NOT ANGELS, BUT HUMAN BEINGS! Human beings wear out and get old.
When you look at me and the rest of the class of 1965
of SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary in Pittsburgh,
you can see that we are getting old. WE NEED
REPLACEMENTS AND FAST!!! So, if any of you
think that you are being called to the priesthood,
pray about it and see our Vocational Director and/or
his assistant: Father Michael O’Loughlin and Father
Michael Mandelas. Or, you may just want to visit our
10
seminary in Pittsburgh, PA and talk to Father Robert
Pipta, a priest from our Eparchy, and the seminarians.
They will start you off on a journey that may well
become a very rewarding adventure for you.
