Italian, Greek, and Albanian. I used these texts to compile an Italian version of the Rites of Christian Initiation, according to what was prescribed by our Melkite Eparchy.

Very nice! I haven't looked at Lungro's website [webdiocesi.chiesacattolica.it] for years - it's come a long way! And, I ask, where else but here could one get a link to an Italo-Greek-Albanian liturgical text from an ethnic and native-born Malaysian who is a Byzantine Melkite sub-deacon in Australia? Thank you my brother  Many years, Neil

There he goes again, that Irish Melkite (aka Neil) invoked my name in vain (for I did not know that the Diocese of Lungro had posted their liturgical texts). Thank you, Collin Nunis. My most recent visit to the Italo-Albanians in Italy was in 2007. The parishes have received many immigrants from Romania and Albania, the first and second largest sources of immigrants to the Italian Republic as a whole. For that reason and because of a shortage of its own candidtaes, the Diocese has acquired many clergy from Romania. Looking at the clergy listings and judging by the names, a rough guess is that one quarter to third of the clerics may be of Romanian origin. On the general subject of the Greek (Byzantine) Rite in Italy, I refer you to my paper which I presented to the St. John Chrysostom Society - Youngstown Chapter in October 2012. < https://www.byzcath.org/stjohnchrysostom/> Its major contribution is that it pulls from local studies of primary source material. In Christ, Dn. Andrew

Thank you my brother Many years, Neil Neil, you are too kind. :p PS: Just thought I'd push it in, seeing that most people are curious about my ethnicity. And no, not criticising anyone... Only adding to the interesting mosaic that is me  - Malaysia doesn't have a particular ethnic group. While there are small pockets of natives there, I am neither of a native ethnic group nor, any of the 3 major ethnic groups in Malaysia; that is Sino-Javanese Malay, Chinese, or Dravidic Indian. While my mom is of Chinese descent, my dad is what we call a "Kristang", a Malay play of the word "Cristao", which effectively refers to descendants of Portuguese and Javanese Malay ethnicities. Our relatively young ethnic mix began 500 years ago, when the Portuguese conquered Malacca. You will find similar stories in Macao (China), and also Goa (India). So, while we look relatively Asian, we are a good mix. :p
