Roger, Let me add my welcome to those you've already received. By the website in your profile, I perceive that you're apparently in Naas, one of my favorite places in Ireland. I once had the joy of spending almost a week at a bed and breakfast there with an absolutely delightful family - probably the most enjoyable folks that I met during a month of traveling and staying almost exclusively in b&bs, which is saying a lot because (with a single exception) I met no one whom I didn't happily call "friend". If you are indeed in Naas, you're not that far from Dublin. Should you wish to experience a Byzantine Divine Liturgy, you could certainly visit the Byzantine Ukrainian Catholic community in Dublin, served by Father Archimandrite Serge Keleher. Not trying to convert you  , just pointing you to the only place in the Emerald Isle where you could experience a Byzantine Catholic Liturgy (there are also several Eastern Orthodox communities there, who likewise celebrate their Divine Liturgy according to the Byzantine Rite). Should you want to follow through on that, just say so and some one of us will come up with info on precisely where the community is worshipping now (they don't yet have their own church and are using the facilities of one of the Latin parishes). Many years, Neil

The following is a list of the Eastern Catholic Churches and the Traditions associated with each: Roger, I'd offer only 2 corrections to Deacon El's presentation. Under the Byzantine Rite or Tradition, he lists the Czech Byzantine Church. The canonical jurisdiction in the Czech Republic is of the Ruthenian Byzantine Church. There is not presently a distinct Czech Byzantine Church sui iuris. Missing from the list under that same Rite, however, is the Georgian Byzantine Church sui iuris (btw, in case you didn't guess, that's not Georgia, USA ). The Georgian Church, nearly extinct, consists of a single vacant canonical jurisdiction in Istanbul and has only a single parish, reported as comprising less than 50 faithful according to the most recent edition of Annuario Pontificio, the annual statistical compilation by the Vatican of Catholic jurisdictions worldwwide.

Thanks for the information Neil. It has been very helpful. Yes, we are in Naas and we don't have our own building yet eiter, we meet in our home. If you are ever in Naas again keep my details. Would love to meet you and have a cuppa tea  .

This company is relatively near me and I know folks who have done business with them for other products and have only good things to say about the quality of what they sell.

Neil..
Thanks very much for the website. My daughter makes beautiful hemp jewelry. Her designs are very unique, it amazes me at how many ways a person can tie a knot, and she is a perfectionst too. She has been looking for a special cross to use. I think that will work well.
