Thank You to the Evangelization
Committee, especially chair, Karen
Hanson, and all those who worked
behind the scenes to make Saturday’s
Lenten Retreat such a success.
We want to say a special Thank You to
P a n e r a
Bread, which

delicious lunch!
What’s in a Rite?
As Transfiguration will be hosting a Ukrainian Catholic Mission for the
foreseeable future, we wanted to give you a little information on these, our
sister churches. The following was kindly provided by Kevin Toole, a member
of the mission.
Catholics are generally unaware that they have millions of coreligionists who
are not themselves part of the Roman Catholic Church. Indeed, even the term
"Roman Catholic" isn't quite right, it was actually a derogatory label assigned
to us by Anglican Protestants, trying to legitimize their own use of the term
"Catholic" over and against that foreign Church loyal to the pope of Rome.
In point of fact, the Catholic Church directly under the jurisdiction of Rome is properly and
canonically termed the Latin Church. All official Church documents simply use the term,
"Catholic Church." And contrary to popular belief, most of the day-to-day work performed by
the Holy Father is not in his role as pope and pastor of the Universal Church but in his position in
the Latin Church as the bishop of Rome and the patriarch of the West.
It remains a deep and abiding tragedy that Orthodox and Catholic sister Churches in the
Apostolic Faith remain at odds. Any semblance of official reunion will take time; many
Orthodox Churches still struggle to discover their own identity after generations of control by
tsars, kings, sultans, nationalism, communism, and the new emergence of evangelicalism and
renewed Islamic militancy. In the hope of that reconciliation, the Eastern Catholic Churches can
act as a bridge a mediator between East and West. In them, the Eastern traditions are both
preserved and united with the West. In spite of a difficult past, they're a sign of great hope and a
pattern for how Eastern practice might coexist without corruption or confusion with the Latin
Church and the universal office of the papacy.
So who are these "other" Catholics? They have their own hierarchies and liturgies, as well as
their own distinct apostolic lineages. They may look and act like Eastern Orthodox churches, but
they recognize the pope of Rome as the head of the visible Church on earth and have suffered for
the cause of that unity.
Meet the Catholic Churches. There are more of them than you think.
As presently defined, there are 24 Catholic Churches that can be grouped into eight different
rites. A rite is a liturgical, theological, spiritual, and disciplinary patrimony of a distinct people
manifested in a Church. Unity does not mean uniformity.
The following is a brief list of each of the 24 sui iuris Catholic Churches all of which are in full
communion with Rome. Parishes can be found throughout the United States and Canada. Some
of these Churches are headed by metropolitans or major archbishops who are independently
elected and then confirmed by the pope. The Patriarchal Eastern Catholic Churches elect and
consecrate their own patriarch completely independent of the pontiff; letters of official
communion are exchanged after the installation. Other Churches simply submit a list of eligible
candidates to Rome for consideration.
