Was Father Joseph Mihaly an ACROD priest?


Yes, he was an ACROD priest, and then later on a priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the EP.

His grandson is Fr. Luke Mihaly, pastor of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, Danbury, CT. (ACROD)

Nice web site. The church edifice under construction for the Danbury parish is of the specific Lemko type (architecturally, at least). There are several examples of this type to be found in Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine: both edifices still in use by a parish, and edifices in museums of wooden architecture. One of the most recent of the latter variety is the Lemko church at the L'viv outdoor Museum of Wooden Architecture; the church is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Oleh Iwanusiw of Toronto, Ontario.

Fr. Alexander Duchnovic's Chl'ib Dusi came in two editions: a Great version and a Small version. The small version was by far the most popular, probably due to cost, size and its user-friendliness. The "Velikyj" edition, as one could imagine, is larger (about 5x7 or so) and has, in addition to the material of the smaller edition, scores of additional prayers, several akathists and canons, a calendar of saints, and numerous paraliturgical hymns interspersed throughout the text.

I don't think it's ever been reprinted.

Over seventeen years ago, Father Serge Keleher of blessed memory wrote:


It has taken quite a while, but Father Mihaly's family has now reprinted "Our Daily Bread" with a new introduction by his great-grandson, my cousin, Father Nicholas Mihaly.

Possibly of interest to Eastern Catholics, the book shows the episcopal approbation not only of Bishop Orestes Chornock, then the bishop-elect ("Jepiskop-Nominat") of the ACROD, but also of the Greek Catholic Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky.

The book can be purchased online at https://www.sjoc.org/books/our-daily-bread with proceeds to benefit the church in Connecticut where Father Mihaly was pastor.

If anyone runs into any issues with the online ordering button, please let me know by email or PM; that button is brand spanking new and nothing computer-related ever seems to work right the first time.

Thank you, MDecerbo. I've ordered a copy. I had no issues ordering.
