Mar +Azarias after discovering and returning to the Holy Faith
(Orthodoxy) attended Saint John’s Seminary and was ordained to
the Diaconate by The American Metropolitan of the Hungarian
Orthodox Church on October 28, 1998 and to the Holy
Priesthood on October 09 1999.
In 2000, the Hungarian Orthodox Church merged with The
Byzantine Catholic Church.
Mar +Azarias was consecrated on October 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.
