On Sunday I will officially transfer from the latin rite to the Byzantine Rite which bears it's stamp on my identity as a Christian. I am so grateful to Fr. Stephen, St. Luke's, and Bishop John Kudrick. Please pray that I may enter with a humble heart and a spirit of service. Please also pray for me as I prepare for the sacrament of Chrismation which will happen on the 21st Sunday after Pentecost. Yours in Christ, Brian Biggerstaff St. Luke's Byzantine Catholic Church Sugar Creek, MO

Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen....

It is amazing how all of the scattered pieces in my life have been beautifully falling together...miraculously the last few months that I have been preparing for this. Thank you so much for your prayers. Sincerely, Brian Biggerstaff
