St Thomas Byzantine Catholic Gilbert, Arizona
Here are some pics I found of my old parish in Arizona: St Thomas Byzantine Catholic in Gilbert, Arizona with some of its beautiful iconography.

Beautiful indeed! Thanks very much, Dave.

Just to add some icon descriptions. You can see in these photos:
St Joachim, St. Anne and the Theotokos
The flight of the Holy Family
Part of the iconostasis (The Theotokos with Christ and St. Michael on one of the Deacons' Doors)
Pentecost and icons of St. Seraphim of Sarov and St. Sergei of Radonezh
Doubting St. Thomas and icons of St. Herman of Alaska and Sts. Sava and Comis of Ochrid
The Myrrh Bearing Women, The Resurrection, the Crucifixion and The Most Holy Trinity along with Sts. Cyril and Methodius.
There are many more icons to see in this church. It's well worth a visit if you make it to the Phoenix area.

I have many more I could post. It was hard to whittle them down to 5 pictures!

I can't remember if there are other post-Schism saints (such as St. Herman of Alaska and St. Seraphim or Sarov) who have their icons at St. Thomas. There may be but I don't remember off hand.
I'm wondering if there are other Eastern Catholic parishes with post-Schism saints similarly commemorated?
