Note: Links to on-line parish directories of our Orthodox brethren are here For years, The Unofficial Directory of Eastern Catholic Churches in the US served as a centralized source for location data on Eastern and Oriental Catholic parishes. Regretably, a few years ago, it ceased to be updated and, over time, its usefulness declined. With upgrading and expansion of ByzCath, an opportunity arose to develop a new, improved, on-line directory. Presently, we are still compiling it; so, please be patient if your parish isn't yet listed. Sources and Reliability of the Data Every effort is made to assure the accuracy of information presented, but limitations persist. The Official Catholic Directory, eparchial and parish websites, and other on-line and print resources were consulted in compiling the entry data. Ongoing, we depend on our users to identify errors, provide missing information, and update us. Schedules should be verified in advance, particularly for Feasts and seasonal considerations.
Acknowledgements The Directory would not have been possible without: ByzCath's generosity as its host; the assistance of all - especially members of the ByzCath Forum - who supplied information or permitted use of photographs; Sigrid & Radek Suski, developers of SOBI2, the software on which the Directory was built; and members of the SOBI2 Community Forum. To date (2009-11-23), the following listings are complete:
|
By Church (521/444 ) All active Eastern Catholic parishes and missions, listed by Church sui iuris |
By Location (513/135 ) All Eastern Catholic parishes and missions (active and historical), listed by locale |

O Savior, save me!
O Master, I have not kept Your Commandments. By my own free choice I yielded to the passions of sensual pleasure. I have stripped myself of grace. I lay wounded and naked. I pray to You, O Savior: save me!

Wisdom from the Church Fathers
If you want, or rather intend, to take a splinter out of another person, then do not hack at it with a stick instead of a lancet, for you will only drive it in deeper. And this is a stick – rude speech and rough gestures. And this is a lancet – tempered instruction and patient reprimand. “Reprove,” says the Apostle, “rebuke, exhort,” but he did not say “beat” (2 Timothy 4:2). And if even this is required, do it rarely, and not with your own hand.
