  • Archdiocesan History FINAL
    A History of the Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania Kristie Bosko Mertz, Ph.D. “…the more I study the history of the Orthodox Church in this land, the more convinced I become that our task here is God’s task, that God Himself helps us.” 1 — St. Patriarch Tikhon, Farewell Address, March 7, 1907 Introduction The history of our archdiocese is inextricably bound to the larger history of Orthodoxy in America. What is now known as the Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania began in 1916 with the tonsuring and consecration of Fr. Alexander Dzubay as Bishop Stephen, within the former North American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. His situation, in terms of being an immigrant of Carpatho-Russian ethnicity and a convert to Orthodoxy from the Byzantine Catholic (Greek Catholic) faith, was in no way unique at that time. However, it provides us with a glimpse of the evolving religious landscape and the foundation that was laid for the creation of the archdiocese and for its subsequent development. The Beginning of Orthodoxy in America Orthodoxy in America began in 1794, when Russian missionaries from Valaam Monastery arrived at Kodiak Island in the Aleutian Islands.1 The beginning of Orthodoxy in this country was found mainly in the future state of Alaska (which was a part of Russia) and in California, but very quickly grew up in the industrial areas of the United States such as Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, and West Virginia. The entirety of North America and Canada was one large diocese with very scattered Orthodox communities.

  • Music at Seminary
    sn 0 SPRING 2006 music at seminary Message from the Metropolitan Dearly Beloved in Christ, Every year, Orthodox Christian men and women hear the Lord’s call to study theology at our seminaries. The student of theology must hear and obey the Lord’s words: Whoever would be first among you must be your slave (Matthew 20:27). Faithful service as a choir director, teacher, deacon, priest, or bishop requires emulation of the Lord and study of His Word. The life of the sn Church through history provides many lessons for Christians of the twenty-first century.To faithfully serve Christ today requires that we study the lives of our fathers in the faith, the per- secutions the Church has endured in the name of Christ, and the triumphs of the truth of the Gospel in the face of great resistance. Martin Paluch The Dean of St Vladimir’s Seminary has been guiding our seminarians through the study of the Church’s his- tory as a lay professor for many years. I am grateful to the Lord that I was able to ordain John Erickson to the Holy Diaconate on the feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs, the patrons of the seminary’s chapel, and to the Holy Priesthood on May 7, 2006. Father John is now called to renewed service to God’s people at the Holy Table. Please join me in fervent prayer for Father John in his ministry as a professor, as Dean of St Vladimir’s, and as a servant of the Lord.

She holds a B.A. in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Religion, with a specialty in Religious Education. Soon after, Carole was asked to chair the Curriculum Department of the OCEC, a position she held from 2001-2005. Also, in 2001, with her volunteer staff, Carole began the conference, the “Orthodox Institute for Continuing Education in the Faith,” which was held at Antiochian Village for 14 years. Along with her staff, Carole has conducted mini-institutes around the Archdiocese. One of the first to see the potential of the internet for educational purposes, she launched the widely used Antiochian Gospel Program “Let Us Attend” in 2004. In her position as chair of the OCEC Curriculum department, Carole was the project director and primary author for the high school text The Way, The Truth & The Life. She also established the Training Department and wrote a program of standardized training for teachers, entitled “Educating Ourselves and Our Children in Godliness.” Since 2004, it has provided hundreds of teachers throughout North America with the resources and training for success in the church school classroom. In the last five years Carole identified the need of today’s parents, directors and teachers to be informed and educated through the media of social networking. The Department provides Facebook, Pinterest and blog sites for interaction with parents and those involved in church school ministry.
