i was actually baptized as an eastern rite Catholic, in a Ukrainian church in Pittsburgh. the last time i went to one of those was when my paternal grandmother died. it is an awesome experience. my dad had to convert to roman catholicism in order for my brother and i to attend a roman catholic elementary school.

i will definitely make note of your suggestions regarding the good churches in upstate NY. my husband's family is up there and also since my son plays travel ice hockey we end up there a fair amount.

If you are close to Washington, DC, Old St Mary's has a weekly Tridentine Mass and a Solemn High Mass the second Sunday of the month. There is a Ukranian Catholic Church right across the street from Catholic University.
