"When we were baptized, we became immersed in an ocean of mercy so that we could live our lives in this ocean, conscious of the fact that God is love, God is mercy, and that we are called to love and mercy ourselves. And when we fall short, God is there to forgive." Bishop John Michael Botean

Bishop John Michael Botean homily (parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector)

"May God personally engrave "Christ is Risen" on your heart..."

In this bilingual pastoral letter, Bishop John Michael Botean invites us to contemplate what gifts have we been asking from God in this season, and vice versa, what gifts is God asking from us. A blessed Christmas to everyone, and a safe and joyous 2022! Crăciun binecuvântat tuturor și un an 2022 plin de sănătate și bucurii!

"May the one who comes to us in this bleak midwinter of our lives, who was born in a cave and laid in a manger, Christ our true God, be the source of new life for you and your loved ones. May He be all that and more for us in this season of our crying need."

We are delighted to report near-miraculous improvement in Father Radu Titonea’s condition in the last day. He is in much better condition now than he was two days ago, becoming more responsive and relying less on medical intervention or life support. He has a long way to go. His family—and his diocese—credit the serious and ongoing prayer that has been offered on his behalf around the country and around the world. For this reason, we ask that prayer for Father Radu continue and intensify. Specifically, we are asking for prayer to our Blessed Martyr Bishops: Blessed Cardinal Iuliu Hossu and Blessed Bishops Vasile Aftenie, Ioan Balan, Tit-Liviu Chinezu, Valeriu Traian Frentiu, Alexandru Rusu and Ioan Suciu. Through their intercession and the intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God, may Father Radu be granted a swift and complete recovery and return to the priestly ministry he has loved so much and the people he has served with so much care and compassion.

At this time, at the family’s request, and out of respect for their situation, we would like to ask NOT TO contact the family. We will provide timely updates when we receive them.

Thank you for your prayers and consideration!

Rugăciunile pentru Părintele Radu trebuie să continue.

​​​​​​​Suntem încântați să raportăm ca în ultimele zile a avut loc o îmbunătățire aproape miraculoasă a stării de sănătate a părintelui Radu Titonea. El este într-o stare mult mai bună decât a fost acum două zile, devenind mai receptiv și bazându-se mai puțin pe intervenția medicală. Cu siguranță vă urma o etapa lungă de recuperare.

Atât familia cat și Eparhia creditează această îmbunătățire rugăciunii continue care a fost oferită în numele său în toată țara și în întreaga lume. Din acest motiv, solicităm ca rugăciunea pentru părintele Radu să continue și să se intensifice. Mai exact, cerem mijlocire episcopilor noștri martiri: Fericitul Cardinal Iuliu Hossu, Fericiții Episcopi Vasile Aftenie, Ioan Bălan, Tit-Liviu Chinezu, Valeriu Traian Frențiu, Alexandru Rusu și Ioan Suciu.

Prin mijlocirea lor și prin mijlocirea Preasfintei Născătoare de Dumnezeu, să ne rugăm ca părintelui Radu să i se acorde o recuperare rapidă și completă și să se întoarcă la slujirea preoțească pe care a iubește atât de mult și la oamenii pe care i-a slujit cu atâta grijă și compasiune.

De asemenea la cererea familiei și din respect pentru situația lor, vă rugăm SĂ NU contactați familia. Vă vom oferi detalii referitoare la situația Pr. Radu în timp util atunci când le vom primi la rândul nostru.

Vă mulțumim pentru rugăciuni și considerație!

At this time, at the family’s request, and out of respect for their difficult situation, we would like to ask NOT TO contact the Titonea family. We will provide timely updates when we receive them.

Thank you for your prayers and consideration!

"We are called to be water-walkers, did you know that? We don't expect to walk on water and we certainly don't expect to have to walk on water. But Jesus tells to Peter, what he tells to the Church: It is I, have no fear, come, walk on water! And a whole crowd of water-walkers will be in the middle of this flood..."
