  • Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo the Byzantine
    Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Christmas 2014 The Byzantine Catholic Church in Ukraine Twenty Five Years! This Eparchy of Mukachevo* celebrated the 25th anniversary of its deliverance from the catacombs with services across the Transcarpathian Oblast. The main event was held on June 6 at the seminary outside Uzhhorod, with the relics of Blessed Theodore Romzha brought down from the cathedral. The Holy Father appointed Cardinal Jozef Tomko, former Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, as his Special Envoy to attend the celebrations and also sent the Apostolic Nuncio to Ukraine, Archbishop Thomas Gullickson. Cardinal Tomko delivered a stirring homily entitled “God gave us freedom, that we use it well,” recounting the hero- ism of young Bishop Romzha, only 33 years old and cut off from the rest of the world by the new Soviet border. Then he went on to challenge the vast crowd to use long hoped-for freedom accord- ing to the Ten Commandments, and to daily ask God: teach us to walk along the narrow and diffi- cult road that we are not stuck. Jesus also gave us the commandment to love one another and promised us his presence and assistance: “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home with him.” (John 14.23). The challenge of leading a Christian life is the same around the world! * Ukraine was a former Soviet republic and reached its current borders in 1945, with the an- nexation of Subcarpathian Rus’, now the Transcarpathian Oblast, and the homeland of the Epar- chy of Mukachevo.

  • By 1865 the United States Had Suffered Tremendous Casualties at the End of the American Civil War at the Time When It Began to Develop As an Industrial Nation
    GREEK CATHOLICS IN AMERICA By 1865 the United States had suffered tremendous casualties at the end of the American Civil War at the time when it began to develop as an industrial nation. As a result, laborers were recruited from various nations of Europe including the Austro- Hungarian Empire. Serfdom was abolished in the revolutionary year of 1848 in the Dual Monarchy but after the liberation the populace labored for the same landlords as poorly paid laborers. Greek Catholics began to depart for America in the 1880’s for the coal mines and steel mills of the industrial northeast and for work in the urban regions. The Greek Catholic faithful wanted to have their churches in this new land of opportunity and worked diligently to make that possible. Father John Volansky, a priest from Galicia, had established Saint Michael Church in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania in 1884 for the faithful of Galicia. From there he established the first Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church in the United States, Saint Mary Church, Freeland, Pennsylvania, in 1886. In succession other parishes followed in Hazelton, Kingston, Wilkes-Barre, and Olyphant, Pennsylvania and in Jersey City, Passaic, and Trenton, New Jersey, and in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Whiting, Indiana. By 1894 there were 100,000 Greek Catholics in the United States. Unfortunately, they were not well received by most of their Roman Catholic brothers and sisters. The Latin Catholic hierarchs lacked knowledge about the eastern Catholic Churches.
