Melkite Liturgy to be 2nd Liturgy

We are now holding a second Divine Liturgy at 11:30 A.M. ever other week for the Melkite Byzantine Catholic community in Houston.

Melkite Catholics are Byzantine Catholics like Ruthenian, Romanian and Ukrainian Catholics. The difference between the Melkite Byzantine Liturgy and our 10:00 A.M. Ruthenian Byzantine Liturgy is style of chant and language used.

Other than these differences the Melkite and Ruthenian Byzantine Liturgies are the same: The Liturgy of St. John Chrysosm, the Liturgy of St. Basil, and the Presanctified Litrugy.

See the Melkite Church Calendar for the schedule of Melkite Divine Liturgies.


A Quick Journey Through the Bible

We will begin an 8-part introduction to the Bible starting Tuesday, May 1st at 7:00 P.M. and continuing for the following 8 weeks on Tuesday evenings. Attendees will learn about the need for Bible study, such as the one facilitated by Deacon Andrew once per month. This quick introduction will also show attendees how to enter deeper into “His-story” as they continue in their study of the Scriptures.
