PASTORAL LETTER FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT FAST From the Most Reverend Artur Bubnevych February 13, 2026

On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 2, 2014, while most football fans were at home watching the Superbowl, Father Robert Rankin (Ret.) was unloading liturgical items from the back of his Ford Explorer to set up for Divine Liturgy which would inaugurate the Dove Mountain Outreach. Twelve years later it is now a Mission with a path to becoming a parish.

Outreaches from three of our parishes were recently visited by Bishop Artur and raised to the status of Missions, and God willing will one day become new parishes of the eparchy.

On Saturday, January 17, 2026 Bishop Artur and clergy celebrated a hierarchical divine liturgy at St. Joseph Maronite Catholic Church in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the healing of a blind woman's vision due to the intercession of St. Sharbel.

The Bishop's Appeal for 2026: The Mission Begins! runs from January 15, through May 31, 2026.
The appeal helps the Eparchy support the clergy, parishes, and faithful in the mission of bringing Christ to the world.

Monday evening Bishop Artur and local clergy and faithful celebrated the Theophany Vigil Vespers with Procession and Great Blessing of Water at Tempe Town Lake in Tempe, AZ.

On Saturday, January 17th 2026, St. Joseph Maronite Church in Phoenix (just west of Scottsdale) has invited our Ruthenian Church to celebrate a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy commemorating St. Sharbel.

This summer young adults may join a mission trip to Athens, Greece (June 8-20, 2026) organized by the Office of Youth and Young Adults Ministry of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh.
