“Our Eastern Catholic brothers and sisters are very conscious of being the living bearers of this tradition, together with our Orthodox brothers and sisters. The members of the Catholic Church of the Latin tradition must also be fully acquainted with this treasure and thus feel, with the Pope, a passionate longing that the full manifestation of the Church’s catholicity be restored to the Church and to the world” (Orientale Lumen 1, Pope John Paul II).

“Since, in fact, we believe that the venerable and ancient tradition of the Eastern Churches is an integral part of the heritage of Christ’s Church, the first need for Catholics is to be familiar with that tradition, so as to be nourished by it and to encourage the process of unity in the best way possible for each” (Orientale Lumen 1, Pope John Paul II).

If you're Roman Catholic and know nothing about Eastern Catholics, come to St. Luke's Byzantine Catholic Church.

Of course, all others are welcome as well!

St. Luke Byzantine Catholic Church

St. Luke's is the only Eastern Catholic church in the KC metro area. It belongs to the Ruthenian Eparchy of Parma. His Grace John Kudrick is our bishop. Eastern Catholics are in full communion with the Pope of Rome but follow the theological and liturgical traditions of early eastern Christianity.

Here is a link to our eparchial website.
