Mar +Azarias was consecrated on Oct 26, 2002 by The Patriarch of The Byzantine Catholic Church, with co-
consecrators from the Hungarian Orthodox Church, at The Holy Trinity Byzantine Catholic Church in Los Angeles
California as Missionary Bishop for North America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and England.
The Parish in San Marino is incorporated as an independent Parish under the name of The Holy Byzantine Catholic
Orthodox Church. A place of refuge for traditionally minded Christians that wants to hold to the Apostolic origins,
practices and biblical doctrines of the Christian faith in the midst of modern reforms and political correctness.
Please note that the term "Mar" used by our Primate is a title of respect in Syriac, literally meaning 'my lord'. It is given by custom to
all bishops and saints. His Beatitude uses this term because of his Syriac Apostolic succession.
