Archbishop Louis Elias Milazzo attended and honors banquet last evening celebrating the Italo-Byzantine Catholic Mission.
American World Patriarchs : American World Patriarchs is a Christian religious organization established in 1967. The group was founded by Uladyslau Ryzy-Ryski, a priest from Belarus who had been consecrated as bishop of Laconia, New Hampshire and the states of New England by the American Orthodox Catholic Church. He was later raised to the position of archbishop by the Old Orthodox Catholic Patriarchate of America. It was largely through Ryzy-Ryski's elevations of other indep...endent bishops to the level of patriarch that the new organization was formed. Ryzy-Ryski did not require that any of the individuals he elevated to the patriarchate recognize his authority or jurisdiction over any of them. He began to create new archbishop-patriarchs for each national and ethnic group, at the same time creating a church hierarchy of international scope. After his excommunication from the American Orthodox Catholic Church, Ryzy-Ryski worked harder to develop his new group, and established patriarchates for Canada, Hungary, West Germany, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, El Salvador, Nigeria, the West Indies, Norway, Sweden, Formosa, and Ukraine. He went on to create the Peoples University of the Americas in conjunction with the AWP. In addition to the religious training it offers, the University offers a variety of courses in the humanities in New York for ethnic and immigrant groups, with particular emphasis on English as a second language. On his death in 1978, Ryzy-Ryski was succeeded by his brother, Archbishop Emigidius J. Ryzy, as the Apostolic Administrator of All American World Patriarchs. Ryzy is assisted by Archbishop Adam Bilecky, Patriarch II of the American World Patriarchate, Archbishop Peter A. Zurawetsky, Archbishop Frank Barquera, and Bishop Piotr Huszcza. In 1997, the church reported 19, 457 members, seventeen congregations, and fifty-four priests in the United States. One additional congregation with three priests was reported in Canada, with work affiliated with the church reported as taking place in seventeen additional countries. The most recent reported congregation was established in 1993 in Belarus. This new congregation, heading by Bishop Huszcza with six assisting priests in Minsk, Lida, and Siomki Goradok, was reported as having a membership of thirty-five thousand and continuing to grow.

Celebration of the Life of Bishop James Thompson will be held at St. Lucy's -- tentatively on Thursday Nov 5 -- beginning at 9 AM with a viewing. Mass at 10 AM.
The people of Our Lady of Peace church are fighting against a notice that their church will be closed. I like the move to track down the descendants of the founders.
March 7 is the memorial for Archbishop Albert Berube at St. Lucy's Old Roman Catholic Cathedral. More detals to follow.
