Dave I can't answer the "why", but holubki are often referred to as "pigs in a blanket," although every holubek I've ever consumed came from a cow, rather than a pig. --tim

I had to jump in here-I once counted all the Eastern Churches in the Cleveland area and came up with about 50! (Orthodox and Catholic) Anna

I still think you are all wrong: "At the sale of Alaska, everyone thought that orthodoxy would disappear because all the Russians left. Actually quite the contrary has happened - we are now the largest church in Alaska," says Bishop Nikolai, the Russian Orthodox bishop of Alaska. [ news.bbc.co.uk]

Johnstown does have a ton of churches.
When you drive down the street to the Ukrainian Catholic Church, you pass three Roman Churches in a few blocks. Two of the RCC have a parking lot between them!!

Dear Ray, As bad as this may sound, and you must forgive me-but I'm still going to have to disagree with bishop Nikolai.  According to Alaskan census statistics, standing at 8% the Roman Catholic church is the largest single religious group in the state. ProCatholico
Glory be to God

Hi Tim!
Wilkes-Barre area folk refer to holubchi as "piggies" even though a holub is a dove/pigeon. Therefore, shouldn't they be called "dovies"?
Further, holubki made with beef should never be called "piggies" as they are porkless.
Just don't call verynyky Byzantine pyrohy. LOL
Pavloosh
P.S. See you at the church picnic [Lackawanna Countyese].
See you at the church bazaar m[Luzerne Countyese].
At any rate: Smachnoho!!!

Not in Transcarpathia, the still make the bacon/rice/ w/tomatoe sauce sans kvasna kapusta (i.e."Uhorski" variant) holubki.
My Dad always said my Dido preferred the "Hungarian-style" holubki, and my Sharisan Baba obliged, even though she usaually made them "Shariska-style, ground beef, bacon, onions w/kvasna kapusta.

Aw, Pittsburgh has to be included in that list. I could not begin to name all of them - Eastern Cahtolic, Orthodox or Slavic Latin Catholic, but there are a bunch.

Dear Pavloosh,
I was in Scranton a couple of months ago and it certainly is a contender. My contact there says you missed at least one in the county, St. George's Carpatho-Russian Church at 743 S Keyer Avenue in Taylor. He thinks it may have the biggest dome in the state.

Stephen R: You are correct and I apologize. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. St. George dome is big alright, but have you seen the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Philadelphia? http://www.ukrcathedralphiladelphia.net/ Pavloosh

JW, let's start doing this for Pittsburgh:
We've got 4 Byzantine Churches: St. John the Baptist (south side), Nativity BVM and St. John Chrysotom (right?) (greenfield), and then Holy Spirit in Oakland.
1? Ukrainian? St. John the Baptist (south side)
South side alone has 1 OCA and 1 Ukrianian Orthodox.
Oakland has the Greek Orthodox and Antiochan Orthodox Cathedrals (and the RC one). Then there's the North Side, and I don't know the numbers there. 9 so far. We can get this record, even just within city limits. If we include McKees Rocks it's all over.

Oh, Neil,
is your parish Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Worcester? My mom and I stopped in there for Divine Liturgy this morning on our way home from a family reunion in Fitchburg, and darned it if I didn't see me an Irish Melkite in there. Maybe there's more than one?

To help Pittsburgh even more, the phone book lists 10 Orthodox churches in Pgh (including the 2 I mentioned above). This article says there are 120 orthodox churches in the pgh area! http://www.orthodoxnews.netfirms.com/165/Tale%20of%20Two%20Cities.htm I also found out I forgot 2 Byzantine Churches, Holy Ghost and St. Pius X. Record?
