Welcome!Holy Ghost Orthodox Church is a multi-ethnic, English-speaking Orthodox parish in rural Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. We are located approximately halfway between Delmont and Saltsburg, off of State Route 819 (five miles north of US Route 22 East of Murrysville). Under the Omophorion of His Eminence, Archbishop Daniel, Ruling Hierarch of the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA. Holy Ghost has been serving Our Lord since its founding by Galician Immigrants in 1923.Although Holy Ghost is a small parish, the people of our parish pride themselves on their hospitality and love towards our visitors. Please plan to stay after Divine Liturgy for our Coffee Hour Social Time. Please feel free to contact Father Robert Popichak if you have any questions or are interested in learning about the Orthodox Church. Father Bob has served at Holy Ghost since January of 1998. All Services are in English. Holy Day Services are announced in the weekly bulletin (see below). |

"Orthodoxy
proposes and does not impose itself: there
is individual human freedom to work with the
Holy Spirit in a personal and communal way "
+Metropolitan Constantine Please PRAY for
our parish family, all first responders,
all front-line workers, and all
those who have no one to pray for them--prayers
are ALWAYS FREE!!! Please remember all those on our parish Prayer List in your prayers, especially His Eminence, Metropolitan Antony, His Eminence, Archbishop Daniel, Father John Haluszczak, Father Paul Bigelow, Father Joe Cervo, Father Paisius McGrath, Liz Obradovich, Mary Anne Kuznik, Bonnie Blair, Judy Previc, Laura Dickson, and Father Bob. May our Lord Himself be a source of recovery and comfort to them. There is now a "clearing house" for Orthodox events in the Greater Pittsburgh region: www.pittsburghorthodox.com is up and running with lots of new information--check it out! THANK YOU to Reader Alexander Popichak, who revised and modified this web page to be both beautiful and Much More Functional than my rudimentary one. Thanks Alex, and God Bless you for your work for His Church! Please continue to
pray for the guests and staff of the Eastern
