Glory to Jesus Christ!
Dear Friends,
I am honored and delighted to welcome you to the website of the Byzantine Catholic Seminary of Ss. Cyril and Methodius. As an Eastern Catholic Community of Formation, we are dedicated to discerning and nurturing the gift of vocation granted by the Holy Spirit to those men called to ordained ministry. And as a Theological Center of Learning, we are also committed to sharing the richness of the Tradition of the Christian East.
Enlivened and invigorated by the all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, Who proceeds from the Almighty Father through the Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, we strive to live a life of labor, study, prayer, and joy. Our seminarians, M.A.T. students, staff, faculty, and all others who share in our life and mission are united in their fervent commitment to make manifest the Kingdom of God on earth.
Our Seminary community would be very happy if what you experience in the pages of this website leads you to seek a personal visit to the Seminary. Visitors are welcome at our divine services in the chapel, to private prayer in the chapel, to study in our library, or to meet with our staff. We do ask that you contact us ahead of time so that we can properly prepare a date and time for your visit.
We also welcome non-matriculating and auditing students to most of our on-campus classes. In addition, our virtual community extends the Seminary experience to those who are unable to physically join us, but still wish to continue to expand their understanding of theology.
Please feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or simply to be in touch. I may be reached at rector@bcs.edu or 412-321-8383 x34.
As we continue in our efforts to form future leaders for the Church, we ask for your prayerful support and encouragement.
Fr. Ronald C. Barusefski
Rector
