Are there any?

My wife and I don't have any very detailed life-plan, but sometimes we think about eventually moving back to America (where I am from). Here we live in the countryside, one village over from a Greek Catholic parish with a Roman Catholic church here. Amongst other income bringing things, we are working to build up a small farm here, and if we moved back to the U.S. we would want to do likewise, if not raise cattle as a primary income there.

But we would want to live near enough to a Greek Catholic parish to at least go to liturgy each Sunday, if not more often, and not have to drive hours to do so.

Slava Isusu Christu!

Just guessing there are probably 20 Byzantine Catholic parishes in towns of 15,000 or less population just in Pennsylvania. We have a lot of small farms here in my DuBois, PA area. Feel free to PM me if you want any more info; you would be very welcome to re-settle here.
