The Dual Anniversaries

On May 8, 1924, the Papal Bull of Pope Pius XI establishing an Exarchate for Ruthenians from Subcarpathia and the election of Father Basil Takach as the first bishop, was published.

This translation is from Dr. Warzeski's book “Byzantine Rite Rusins in Carpatho-Ruthenia and America” with edits courtesy of Father John Basarab, Epiphany of Our Lord Byzantine Catholic Church in Annandale, Virginia.
