68th Annual St. Nicholas Celebration Held

On Sunday, December 7, 2025, a large and enthusiastic crowd of over 275 clergy, religious, and faithful came together for the 68th Annual St. Nicholas Celebration to benefit the Byzantine Catholic Seminary of Ss. Cyril and Methodius.  The celebration began with a Moleben to St. Nicholas celebrated at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Munhall, followed by a banquet dinner at the Cathedral Center.  In addition to the seminarians serving the Moleben and singing traditional Byzantine Christmas carols, Deacon Nicholas Krivacs and Deacon Mark LeRoy shared what Seminary formation has meant to them, all of which was well-received by the entire gathering.  The new GCU President, Jeremy Stephenson, presented the Seminary with a very generous check of $100,000.00 to support the Seminary, along with individual gifts for the seminarians.  It was a truly joyful celebration of charity offered fittingly in the name of our Holy Father Nicholas, as well as a great affirmation of the Seminary’s mission of forming vocations for the future of our Byzantine Catholic Church!
