- Abstract
A wide range of factors impacted the development of the liturgy of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the United States. The nineteenth century's burgeoning immigrant Ukrainian population in the United States and the Ukrainian Catholic Church's dependence upon the homeland in the first decades after immigration formed the Ukrainian liturgy's earliest U.S. identity. Attempts at latinization, owing to the influences of the Catholic Church's Latin rite, both in the United States and in Europe, brought departures from the Ukrainian Church's Byzantine liturgy. As the Ukrainian Church matured and moved toward independence, a highly educated native clergy brought liturgical renewal. The unfortunate events in 1945 and 1946, forcing Ukrainian Catholics in the homeland underground, led the faithful in the United States to continue without significant leadership from Ukraine. In the last fifty years, influenced by the Second Vatican Council and the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Catholic Churches, the Ukrainian Church has achieved modest liturgical change.
