I'm ever hopeful... does anybody know of an eastern catholic parish, mission, etc. in KY?

I'm sorry, I'm unaware of any. Perhaps you should scoot up to Ohio - - - that state has plenty.

Good luck.

You might consider gathering a few interested friends with you to visit either of these parishes. You could even start just a Byzantine/Eastern Catholic study group that begins by answering the Holy Father's call for Roman Catholics to become more familiar with the Eastern traditions. If there is enough interest generated, perhaps a local priest from Louisville would be interested in persuing bi-ritual faculties to help support some type of outreach.

Hope that helps!

Welcome to the forum St. Ambrose. Hopefully you will find this a good place to learn about the East.

Ask around of the priests too, occasionally you find Roman priest who have bi-ritual faculties, but no longer use them because there is not a church nearby. They are often very interested in celebrating the Liturgy.

Don't you have a Passionist Community there? They may have a priest with bi-ritual faculties also.

St. Ambrose, you might just have to start one.

Father Stephen Dominic Hayes, OP, is in Springfield, KY. He holds bi-ritual faculties with the Melkites - and is a dear and holy man.
