On August 13th the parishioners of St. Michael's Cathedral, lead by Bishop Kurt and Fr. Marek, joined faithful from all over the United States to celebrat the 100th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Byzantine Catholic Church in America. Together they prayed a Moleben of Thanksgiving at St. Mary's Church in Manhattan, just as Bishop Basil Takach, the first official Byzantine Bishop in America did upon arriving in America. Fr. Chris Zugger gave a talk on the historical significance of the moment. A reception followed.
