Greetings,
I went on to my local Diocese website and looked at their parish list. I noticed many local Byzantine Catholic churches are not listed on there. There is a couple on the list, but they did not seem to miss any Roman Catholic churches in the county.
It is what it is..or is there a reason behind that?
(I did however find the churches missing on the diocese parish list on byzcath.org)
Thank You

Andronicuus,
A Latin diocese has no obligation to list the Eastern or Oriental Catholic parishes or missions that happen to be situated within its geographical bounds - although they should certainly feel obligated to list any which are canonically subject to the Latin Ordinary (those of Churches which lack a canonical jurisdiction in the US, e.g., Coptic or Ethiopian/Eritrean parishes/missions).
So, the next question is - 'should' they? I think so, as a convenience to those visiting their area, if for no other reason. And, there are many which do so - either separately listing them together with a notation that indicates the eparchy to which the church is subject or listing them together with 'ethnic' ministries.
I'm hoping that your last sentence meant that you found the missing churches on our listings - not that you found the churches (to be) missing from our listings.
Our directory is still on-line, but going through some growing pains at the moment, due to software changes beyond our control. It's gradually being revamped and, as soon as that is complete, the continued building of the directory listings will get back on track (as we still have a significant number of entries yet to be input for the first time).
Many years,
Neil

Neil Yes, I did find it on this website, along with other's not listed on the Diocese parish list. I was looking at a specific church that sparked my curiosity. It is a Byzantine church, though it seems to be completely in English. Atleast from what I seen on some youtube videos posting and the prayer print outs on their website. I have not experienced a full english mass at a Byzantine church. I thought I would go check it out. Thank you for the information I appreciate it.
