Greeting all!
The Theology faculty of the high school I teach at has received a grant to send 6 of us to Rome this March. Being the only Byzantine Catholic of the group, I'd love suggestions from this learned forum regarding places to see with a specifically Eastern character.
I know the Russicum is there as well as the Orientale (sp?), but I'm ignorant of anything else.
Suggestions?
many thanks in advance,
Henri

The Pontifical Oriental Institute comes to mind.

The tomb of St. Josaphat is in St. Peter's Basilica.
There is also the Shrine of Santa Sofia (Holy Wisdom) in via Boccea in Rome. It was Cardinal Josyf Slipyj's cathedral in exile and was built between 1967-69 according to his own plans. It was intended as a replica of Saint Sophia's in Kyiv, incorporating similar structures and features.
Another specifically Eastern thing I'm familiar with is the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. This church was given by the Pope in the 8th Century to a group of Byzantine monks who were fleeing the Iconoclast persecution, and served as the "Greek" church in Rome for a long time afterwards. More recently, it has been staffed by Melkite monks. Melkite liturgies are celebrated there in both Arabic and Greek on Sundays and feast days, but on other days they use the Italian Roman missal.
Peace,
Deacon Richard

There is the Pontifical Major Seminary of St. Josaphat. I believe it is Ukrainian.

Dan,
To get on the faculty, I guess fly on down to Texas! We are but a humble Jesuit high school, so you may wish to think carefully about it. The department was fortunate enough to receive a grant from someone locally who is committed to Catholic education - with a particular emphasis on faculty enrichment. He has committed to providing funds for the next five (I guess now four) years.
I'm considering applying again in order to get myself to some of the Orientale Lumen conferences.
Our trip was a great success on many levels. We were able to meet with the Father General of the Jesuits, and the Secretary of the Congregation of Catholic Education (Archbishop Michael Miller) during our stay. Most helpful and beneficial to our department to say the least. Thank y'all for the suggestions, they certainly helped enrich the experience for me as an Eastern Catholic.
God Bless,
Henri

Dear Griego Catholico,
The list was interesting, but I was surprised to find that the Greek Church was in Communion with Rome. I know that at least one church was given to the Patriarch of Constantinople recently, (although his true church is Saint Peters), and I believe he might have been given a second one. I might be wrong though.
I think Arch. Christodoulos of Greece recently visited the Pope. Hmmm! I wonder if he was given a church? Rome has so many...and they are so old. I just love Rome!  
God Bless,
Zenovia
