Greek Catholic Church Grows Among Rusins in United States
The Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church arrival and expansion in America is traced from 1880s settlement in Shenandoah to creation of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Diocese of the United States under Rev. Stephen Ortynsky. The article covers church unity with Rome, liturgy in Old Slavonic, vernacular use, married clergy debates, parish architecture, and social pressures facing Ukrainian and Rusyn communities across cities like Pittsburgh, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Jersey City.
