Welcome!
We are a fellowship of Catholics in central and eastern Iowa worshipping in the liturgical tradition of the Christian East. We strive to live the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ handed down to us through His Apostles and lived through Eastern Christian spirituality and ways of life.
Fully Catholic
Byzantine Catholics are in full communion with the successor of St Peter the Apostle in Rome, Pope Leo XIV. Divine Liturgy and pastoral care are offered as an “outreach” of Annunciation Byzantine Catholic parish of Homer Glen, Ilinois. Father Bruce Riebe is providing full time sacramental ministry. Catholics of any Rite can fulfill their Sunday obligation by attending a Divine Liturgy.
Invitation
We welcome and encourage any and all to pray with us and help spread the Gospel of Christ, to the comfort, aide, and healing of those around us, and to the glory of God.
