Hi, Sam64!

The link you provided is what is listed in both the Parish Links and Parish Directory. Is there a forthcoming change?

Thanks!
John

I never heard of St. Vladimir's Church in Warren, MI, and I loved in the Detroit area 27 years up until last June.

Er, that was I LIVED in the Detroit area, not loved😀. Well, I did love my wife, children, and flocks while there.
But I recently came across some writing in Russian which states that the New Martyr Bishop Gorazd of Prague founded 6 or 7 parishes among Czech and Slovak Americans during a visit here in the 1920' s. I wonder if these weren't Western Rite parishes and if they didn't eventually join the Polish National Church or some other Old Catholic formation. Perhaps someone out there knows something.
I've also searched for years for information about the Finnish Orthodox mission in Upper Michigan. It existed from the mid 50's to mid 60' s. So far, I only know that one priest is supposed to have served four mission stations there. He was under the jurisdiction of Bishop Bohdan of the Ukrainian church.

New website:

Las Vegas, NV: St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church (Byzantine Rite) https://www.stgabrielbyzantinecatholicchurch.org/

St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church - Bethlehem, PA

https://www.stjosaphatbethlehem.org/

Saint Michael Byzantine Catholic Church in Allentown, PA
Saints Peter and Paul Byzantine Catholic Church in Palmerton, PA

https://www.byzcath.org/allentown/


These parishes shared a priest for decades. However, both are currently inactive since there are no priests available, with no services or activity at all. No word as to whether a priest will be assigned again or if the churches will be closed. The website is still maintained and has updates whenever available.

Thanks for the updates.

William: Prayer for your parishes, that things turn around.

Also, where is the "Links to Parish Home Pages" page? This one here https://www.byzcath.org/index.php/resources/directories/parish-home-pages-mainmenu-92 says it was last updated Nov 17.

Perhaps you can add the little UGCC that my wife and I attend in Salem, Massachusetts

Updates made. Many thanks for the input.

If anyone has some free time, we need a volunteer to click through all entries on the Links to Parish Home Pages. Website URLs change frequently and it is difficult to keep up with all the changes. Each should open in a new window. Post any changes here.

For those parishes where the URL has expired I have removed it, but left the entry. It's possible they have a new site. Thanks.

The latest post is over two years old, and this is not a good way to collect information. You need more than a volunteer. You need process that is much more automated. You list is sufficiently out of date as to render it not very useful or reliable.
