About St Michaels Byzantine Cemetery
St. Michael's Byzantine Catholic Church in Hermitage, Pennsylvania serves the local community with Divine Liturgies conducted entirely in English. The parish follows ancient Byzantine Catholic traditions while remaining fully Catholic, welcoming both those raised in the Roman rite and those new to Byzantine worship. The church offers a gentle introduction to the Divine Liturgy for first-time visitors and maintains an active community life, including educational programs through the Catholic Schoolhouse, a homeschool co-op serving Northwest Indiana. Parishioners are encouraged to experience the rich liturgical tradition at their own pace, knowing that the ultimate goal of worship is communion with God.
First-Time Visitor Info for St Michaels Byzantine Cemetery
Dress Code: Not specified — please contact the church directly. Service Format: All liturgies are in English with some Church Slavonic hymns; the congregation stands throughout (no kneeling on Sundays per ancient tradition); communion is distributed from a spoon using leavened bread; most of the service is sung a cappella by the cantor and congregation. Visitor Tips: Arrive early enough to settle in before the service begins; don't worry if incense is already present or if brief services have preceded the Divine Liturgy; follow along in the liturgy books provided in the pews or at the back of the church; make the sign of the cross when the priest blesses you or when the Trinity is invoked; expect to stand and sit at various points, and simply observe others if unsure of when to do so.
Note: Church information may be outdated. Please verify details with the church directly before visiting.
