Byzantine Catholic Church in Slovakia

Our aim is to introduce you the Byzantine Catholic (Greek Catholic) Church in general and especially that of Slovakia. (Both expressions - Byzantine Catholic and Greek Catholic are used.) We would like to approach you the history, traditions, spirituality, art but also the contemporary life of our church. The byzantine-slavonic rite is a heritage of the Apostles of the Slavs Cyrill and Method, the co-patrons of Europe. We consider our rite as a special gift (charisma) that enriches the whole Church and helps to restore the unity among all eastern churches. In English language you will find here basic information on the Byzantine Catholic (Greek Catholic) Church in Slovakia, on her structure, history and on the byzantine-slavonic rite and spirituality. You can admire also the beautiful icons in classic style (contemporary Slovak iconography) and enjoy the church choir chant in mp3 audiofiles (in Church Slavonic and Slovak language). You can leave your impressions, comments and reminders in our guestbook. We are preparing the music sheet of some church chants of the Carpathian region. In the complete Slovak version you will find many more interesting articles, e.g. patristic texts, articles and documents on ecumenism, liturgy and spirituality in our church, liturgical texts…
