Quick question for everyone. My wife and I are moving soon, possibly close to where I'm from. I'm a convert to the faith and where I'm from there are very few catholics let alone byzantine ones... However, not to far from my hometown there is a listing for "Byzantine Catholic Eparchy" in Clarksville Va... Does anyone know what this is? As far as I know there is no Byzantine Church there, even though it is listed with a VA phone number under churches(called it and no answer)... Is this land owned by an Eparchy and is a future mission territory?

DrAnt,

Good to see a post from you. I'm going to leave the definitive answer on this to one of our Virginians, but there is no parish or mission in Clarksville. I just searched it and found the same listings that you cited, but am clueless as to what is being referenced.

Address is 1343 W Orgainsville Rd, Clarksville, VA 23927, which looks to be out in Mecklenburg County - way too distant from any of the VA churches to be a priest's residence (closer to NC, in fact). I don't see any listing in the Catholic Directory to suggest Passaic has any non-church site there. That doesn't mean the Eparchy doesn't own a piece of land there, however.

I'll be curious to see the results of this query.

Many years,

Neil
