A vicariate of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America
Orthodox missal and other missals
The Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate (AWRV) is a
Western rite
vicariate of parishes and missions "that worship according to traditional Western Christian liturgical forms" within the
Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America of the
Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch .
[1]
Origins
The vicariate began when three schismatic
Society of St. Basil parishes, under Bishop Alexander Tyler Turner, were canonically received into the
Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch by Metropolitan Anthony Bashir in 1961, after an eight-year probation period.
[2]
Current status
The vicariate consists of more than twenty churches and missions in all of the dioceses throughout the United States. Bishop John (Abdalah) of
Worcester and
New England oversees the vicariate assisted by its Vicar-General, Fr. Edward Hughes.
Western Rite parishes are encouraged and expected to be active in the local diocese in which they are located, and episcopal functions are usually performed by the local diocesan bishop.
[3]
The Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate provides various Western-derived liturgies, including the Mass of St. Gregory, the
Liturgy of St. Tikhon , and a
Traditional Latin Mass .
