Description

This church is literally next door to the Byzantine Catholic church. It proves how sad the divisions were back in the day. It's founding was a result of the typical parish feud, court case, we lost, lets build a new church, etc.

Fr Serge Keleher Member Registered: 06/22/06 Posts: 5599 Loc: Dublin	What happened in Hawk Run was particularly tragic and quite unnecessary. The original church had been Orthodox for decades, and the overwhelming majority wanted to remain Orthodox. I'll spare you the gory details, but the litigation was provoked by a foolish and ambitious person. Hawk Run is a small place, so almost anywhere that the new church was built would have been next door to the original church. Almost all the parishioners decided to join the new church; the Carpatho-Russian Diocese managed to provide substantial help to pay for the construction costs, but it was still a tight squeeze. God forgive those who caused the whole tragedy - and God grant that we may learn from it, and not replicate it. Fr. Serge

Three Cents Member Registered: 11/22/01 Posts: 287 Loc: Saratoga Springs, New York	Thanks to both Etnick and Fr. Serge. BTW - Behind the Church is a nice place to have a picnic. Also BTW - The folks in Hawk Run hailing from Ladomirova were in America long before the monastics arrived at a place in Upstate New York called ... Jordanville. Christ Is Among Us! Indeed He Is And Ever Shall Be! Three Cents

Job Cantor Member Registered: 11/01/05 Posts: 1359 Loc: Connecticut	Quote: Is ACROD still on the old calendar? The diocese officially is (the cathedral and wherever Metropolitan Nicholas is serving) however I've been told about 50% of the parishes are on the revised Julian Calendar including Camp Nazareth.
