On Saturday, 26 April 2003, the seminary received the CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY from the Pennsylvania Secretary of Education which reads:

This is great news for the seminary.
I wish there was some way for us folks in the Midwest to share in the intellectual riches of the seminary.
There is a tremendous hunger and need for a deeper knowledge of Byzantine Christianity in the heartland.

ukipatr, the Stamford and Parma Ukrainian eparchies have diaconal programs in the USA as does Toronto. I completed the Stamford program since our eparchy (Chicago) currently has no program. But we will be working on that when the new bishop comes in  . Frs. Andriy Chirovsky and Peter Galadza are primary professors for the Stamford program. Fr. George Appleyard I believe is the director of Parma's, and Fr. Bill Bochar at St. Demetrius in Toronto is the director of the Toronto program. You can send me a PM if you want more specific material regarding the Stamford Ukrainian Catholic diaconal program. There are several lads from the Pittsburg Ruthenian program here and possibly some from the Melkite program that can speak to those.

John Petro, the rector of the seminary, is also the Director of the deacon studies program. Other eparchies in the Metropolia (Parma and Van Nuys) also participate in the Pittsburgh program. Are you interested in the diaconate? Joe Thur Deacon-student Eparchy of Parma

Dear Cantor Joseph,
If someone had a PhD in sociology, how would that person "measure up" for acceptance for one of these magisterial programs?
