Some may be wondering why I chose the title I did for this blog. It came to mind when I originally considered doing this. Being a Western Rite parish in the Orthodox Church, we are part of the Eastern Church, celebrating a Western liturgy and following the Western Orthodox liturgical tradition. That being said, we look both towards the Eastern Church for our Orthodox doctrine and faith, and West for our liturgical tradition. Thus the name for this blog. Our Western Orthodox faith and practice is that of Ss. Patrick, Ambrose, Leo the Great, Jerome, Gregory the Great and many other Western saints who held to the "faith once delivered to the saints". Let us honor their memory by being faithful to this treasure that we have received and passing it on to future generations.
To God be the glory,
Fr Stephen
