Church leaders from throughout North America and Europe are scheduled to attend Wednesday’s installation of Pittsburgh’s new Byzantine Catholic archbishop.

The Most Rev. William C. Skurla, D.D., will be enthroned as metropolitan archbishop of the Byzantine Archeparchy of Pittsburgh Wednesday during a 2 p.m. Divine Liturgy at St. John the Baptist Cathedral, 210 Greentree Road in Munhall.

Apostolic Nuncio Carlo Maria Vigann will read proclamation issued by Pope Benedict XVI, called a papal bull, and perform the enthronement.

The new archbishop will concelebrate the liturgy with other bishops of the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic rite in the United States and Europe and consultors of the archeparchy or archdiocese.

Consultors are priests who are key aides to the archbishop. Included is the Very Rev. Eugene P. Yackanich, pastor of St. Elias Church in Munhall and the administrator who was in charge of the archeparchy since the death of Metropolitan Archbishop Basil M. Schott, OFM, D.D., in June 2010.

Sturla, 55, was the third Byzantine Catholic bishop of Van Nuys, Calif., and for the past five years served as the fourth bishop of Passaic, N.J.

He will be the spiritual leader of 58,000 parishioners in a region extending from Erie to Texas, with 65 priests in 78 parishes.

Pittsburgh also is principal see in a Metropolia, or province, of the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic rite, with eparchies (dioceses) based in Van Nuys, Passaic and Parma, Ohio.

A long list of guests scheduled to attend also was released in an advisory issued through the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. Included are current or former bishops of six Pennsylvania Roman or Latin-rite dioceses and New York’s Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan.

Also scheduled to attend are representatives of the Anglican, Episcopal, Evangelical Lutheran, American Carpatho-Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox churches, the Orthodox Church in America and Christian Associates of Southwest Pennsylvania.
