Christ is in our midst!!
Welcome to the forum. That said, I'm curious as to how you arrived at this decision. If you have had no contact with a Byzantine Catholic parish of any kind, you'll probably face a lot of questions and hurdles before you ever realize that ambition.
If you have in the back of your mind that you want to be a married Byzantine Catholic priest, you might as well forget that one. There are processes in place to make sure that this is virtually impossible to accomplish.
If you've never experienced the Byzantine tradition--liturgical, spiritual, and theological--it will still be a great story to hear why you've come to this conclusion.
Have a great Pascha, be assured of our prayers among the brethren here, and welcome.

My first experiance with the byzantine tradition was at an orthodox church i felt a connection. then i remembered a show on ewtn about the UGCC when i first saw it i was like isnt this orthodox the bishops are wearing crowns. ive been to the orthodox church seveal times now they are very genorous theyve even bought tickets for my family to attend dinners and many are supportive of my ambitions. infact im tovespers there at 3 today
