His Eminence after discovering and returning to the Holy Faith (Orthodoxy) attended Saint John’s Seminary
where he earned a Bachelor in Theology; Masters in Divinity and Doctorate in Dogma and Canon Law.
He was ordained to the Diaconate by The American Metropolitan of the Hungarian Orthodox Church on October
28 1998 and to the Holy Priesthood on Oct 09, 2000.
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.
