Romzha Seminary Choir to Perform in the US
The choir includes 16 seminarians from the Blessed Theodore Romzha Seminary in Uzhorod, Transcarpathia, Ukraine and will sing a 20 minute concert of sacred music, both plain chant and choral arrangements, in the Church Slavonic language.
This tour will provide an opportunity for seminarians in Europe to experience American culture and church life, and for parishioners of these churches to meet future priests who will mostly be married. Some 20 priests from Europe now serve in Byzantine Catholic parishes across the US. The concerts are free and open to the public. Free-will donations made at the concerts, after travel expenses are paid, will be sent to the seminary to help with seminarian education and formation.
