Living the Joy of the Liturgy. Read the recent article in the "National Catholic Register" on Fr. David and St. Peter Eastern Catholic Mission in Ukiah: St. Peter Eastern Catholic Mission offers nothing to attract the worldly eye. There's a small parking lot, a field of weeds, and a nondescript white-stucco building that could use a fresh coat of paint. The only outward sign to mark the latter as a church is a small golden rooftop Byzantine cross. And yet, inside this little church, the feeling is always of having stepped into another dimension. Sunlight streams through the east window. Joyful psalmody fills the air. Breathtakingly beautiful liturgy can last three to four hours"... Read more here .




On Saturday July 25, 2009,
in St. Sebastian Church in Greenbrae, Marin County, we gathered for the Divine Liturgy, a brunch and a Talk on:
Reflections on the Priesthood from Scriptures and the Early Fathers
by Father David Anderson, Pastor of St. Peter Eastern Catholic Church, Ukiah.

First we had the Divine Liturgy in the Church, with the Choir from Ukiah, a real feast for our souls,

then we gathered in the Church hall for brunch (quite a feast in itself)
and listen to the Talk on the Priesthood (one more feast for our minds and our hearts!).

We are very thankful to Fr Mark and the San Sebastian parish community for allowing us to use their beautiful Church and hall.




On Saturday September 15, 2007,
we were blessed with the Divine Liturgy at Saint Sebastian Church. It was a wonderful moment of worship and we are very thankful to Fr. David and to all the members of his parish who came down with him, all the way from Ukiah. See pictures below. (Although the pictures do not do justice to the beauty of the chanting and the reverence of the worship). Afterwards, we gathered downstairs in the Church Hall where Fr. Ken Westray had cooked a delicious breakfast of eggs and sausages, little muffins and croissants and fruit salad.Thank you for your hospitality, Fr. Ken. We ate and talked and also had the opportunity to ask Fr. David questions about the Byzantine rite or about the upcoming Study Course on Saint Paul. Many thanks to all who came and for the ones who could not be there, know that you were in our prayers.
