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 Beatitude Metropolitan
Constantine of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of
the USA. Holy Ghost has been serving Our Lord
since its founding by Galician Immigrants in 1923.
Holy Ghost is a small parish by today's standards,
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.
