Wishing to foster religious life among Byzantine Catholic faithful in the United States, Pope Paul VI issued the decree "Christi Ecclesia" officially establishing the Eparchy of Parma on Feb. 21, 1969.
Today, the Eparchy consists of 28 parishes across 12 states with about 4,300 parishioners.
As we continue through the 21st century, we embrace our past and look toward the future with hope, certain that we are a church empowered by the Holy Spirit “to set hearts on fire” by the way we worship and by the way we live.
