New Ukrainian Greek Catholic Bishop Named For Chicago
CARNEGIE, PA., USA (AP) -- The pastor of a Ukrainian Greek
Catholic church in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, has been named
bishop of the church's largest eparchy, based in Chicago,
Illinois, according to an Associated Press news story on March
26,2003.
As bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Eparchy of St.
Nicholas, the Rev. Richard Seminack, 61, will oversee more
than 10,000 members in 38 parishes and seven missions stretching
across the western half of the nation.
The largest concentration of Ukrainian churches is in Chicago
and Detroit, said Seminack, who had 800 parishioners at Holy
Trinity Ukrainian Church outside Pittsburgh. He has been the
pastor there for 18 years.
The current bishop of the Chicago eparchy has been transferred
to an eparchy in Manitoba, Canada.
