http://www.russiatoday.ru/features/news/19272January 1, 2008, 17:14 Russian Church extends hand of charity in Argentina It was built by order of the Tsar as the first Russian Orthodox Church in Latin America. Today, more than a century on, it offers support to some of the more needy residents of Buenos Aires. The Church is keen to share Russian Orthodox culture with Argentines and other visitors - and many of them are eager to learn.

Dear Miller,
I just know they will begin by relating the stories of Sts Vladimir and Olha, Boris and Hlib and Anthony and Theodosius of the Kyivan Caves Lavra!
Those are my most favourite Russians of all time!

I remember reading about Ukrainian Orthodox in Argentina. There was an immigration of Ukrainian Orthodox from Volynia in the inter-war period and a few Orthodox from Bukovyna. by default they went to the Russian Orthodox Church which uses Church Slavonic.
Then after WW2 the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA established parishes, priests etc.
However, since the 1990's there has been an immigration of ethnic Russians and no doubt they will go to the MP parish which has existed at least since WW2 and maybe before. There were brief articles about the MP parish in Argentina and priets sent from the former Soviet Union in the Journal of the Moscow patriarchate in the 1980's.
As with the MP parishes in Alberta, hte priests sent were usually from Volynia so they could speak Ukrainian.

This movement to the New World is very true for our family from Halychyna was divided into three sections.
One group came to Canada ( 1909 )going to the free land on the prairies. Others settled in northern Ontario and southern Ontario.
The second group went to the United States.
The third group went to both Argentina and Brazil.
The parish priest who served in our church for many years came from Brazil and cared for the needs of Ukrainians,Brazilians and Portuguese here in our city in Canada. It was not uncommon to see Holy Cross Church filled with Portuguese speaking people there for weddings.

If memory serves me correctly, the Moscow Patriarchate built a newer Cathedral in Buenos Aires some 40 years ago.

Stephanos I One could say the same thing about Our Lady of Lourdes in St. Petersburg and Church of St. Louis in Moscow. Obviously they are there for those people who find themselves working or visiting in non Orthodox or Catholic majority communities. Alexandr

Dear Aleksandr,
Your observation is quite correct - and this also explains why the Moscow Patriarchate has a parish and a bishop in L'viv. However, it does not explain why the Moscow Patriarchate is so vehemently opposed to a Greek-Catholic presence in places where there are Greek-Catholics in serious numbers. Consider Moscow: according to census figures there are about one million Ukrainians in Moscow. Assuming that about ten percent of these Ukrainians are Greek-Catholics, that would provide a quite substantial number of potential parishioners. There are also some ethnic Russians in Moscow who are Greek-Catholics, although they are much fewer than the Ukrainian Greek-Catholics.
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!

If I am not mistaken, I believe that ROCOR has a larger presence in Argentina than does the MP...ROCOR 's first Bishop in Argentina was Panteleimon (Rudyk, +1968), who, it is said, was "run out of the country by the Roman Catholics..." Why, how? ...don't know, but thats the reason given for his untimely transfer to Canada in 1951, when he was replaced by the saintly Archbishop Ioasaph (Skorodumov, +1955) Panteleimon arrived in Argentina in the late 1940's ... I believe that Eva Peron, at the request of ROCOR Archbishop Nafanael (Lvov, +1986), saw to it that Russian DP's in Europe were given thousands of visas to resettle in Argentina.
