The collected YouTube files for the Divine Liturgy for Church Unity
from St Sauveur Cathedral, Montreal, Canada arfe available from WWW. Melkite.Org at

melkite.org/videoliturgy.htm

Not actual broadcast, nor an average Liturgy - but very nice and nearly an hour of the service in order.
 
There is also the Georgian Catholic Byzantine Rite but they are not a self ruling church but under a Roman delegate. There are about 7000 members I think.

Vico, I would doubt there are more than a few hundred remaining Georgian Greek Catholics, as there has been no priests or hierarchy for many years, and wars and forced deportations were not kind to the small Greek Catholic community. The last known Georgian Greek Catholic priest outside of Georgia died in Rome in the late 1950s. The remaining Tblisi parish I believe also closed sometime in the 1960s.

Likely the remaining Greek Catholics dispersed to the Armenian Catholic or Apostolic Church, Georgian Orthodox Church or became Latin.

Fr. Deacon:

I’ve read that they still have a couple thousand, and recently, a seminarian (attending a seminary of a different Byzantine rite church).

Unfortunately, I lost the link!
 
In 2007 Most Reverend Bishop Giuseppe Pasotto, C.S.S said the local Catholic community in Georgia had about 50,000 Catholics of three different rites: Armenian, Latin and Syro-Chaldean. (From the fides website news).

There was no mention of the Georgian Greek rite.

Latins, Armenians or others, possibly. But to my knowledge there has been no contact with any organized group of Georgian Greek Catholics since the 1960s.

Yes, one rarely even sees the Georgian Greek Catholics mentioned at all anymore. They have not been included in any documentation from the Eastern Congregation for some time.

With the modern ability for communication, surely if there was any organized group of Georgian Greek Catholics they would have made their presence known, asked for assistance with clergy, etc. but no one has heard from them.

Wars and forced deportations were not kind to that small Greek Catholic Church. An Armenian friend maintains most became Armenian Catholic but it would be difficult to verify.
 
The one Georgian Parish was, according to Irish Melkite (who tends towards obsessive accuracy), in Turkey, not in Georgia proper.
 
I just want to thank everyone again for all these wonderful resources. It’s been really neat to be able to see some of the Eastern traditions. I have decided to remain with my parish in the Latin rite but I have also incorporated some Turkish traditions as well. And I want to thank you guys because it was through looking at the Eastern traditions that I realized I could incorporate some Turkish traditions because they were Catholic as well. For example covering your head in church like Mary and I’ve never felt happier because I no longer feel that I have to give up my admiration for Turkey and I’ve actually seen my parish become more diverse in recent months and I’m really excited about that.
 
At the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church that I attend regularly (yet baptized/confirmed Roman), we have been studying the Divine Liturgy. Some interesting information is that the different rites, although some translate the Divine Liturgy into other languages, use a small number of liturgies. Mainly they vary with different Anaphora.

Byzantine
Liturgy of Saint Basil
Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom
Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts

Armenian
Liturgy of Saint Gregory

Alexanderian
Liturgy of Saint Basil
Liturgy of Saint Cyril (Saint Mark)
Liturgy of Saint Gregory

Antiochene
Liturgy of Saint James

Chaldean
Liturgy of Mar Addai & Mar Mari
Liturgy of Mar Theodore of Mapsuestia
Liturgy of Mar Nestorius

Roman
Roman Ordinary Form
Roman Extraordinary Form (Latin)
Ambrosian
Mozarabic
Braga
Carthusian
Benedictine
Regular Orders (various, e.g., Carmelite)
Anglican Use

This list may vary because some sources list extinct liturgies.

In the United States of America, the largest Eastern Catholic church memberships are (2008 Annurario Pontifico):
  1. Chaldean 26%
  2. Ruthenian Byzantine 18%
  3. Syro-Malabar 16%
  4. Maronite 14%
  5. Ukrainian 11%
  6. Armenian 7%
  7. Melkite 5%
  8. Syrian 2%
  9. Romanian Greek 1%
  10. Russian (under Latin protection)
 
I just went to youtube and typed in Byzantine liturgy and got some interesting videos you may wish to see. I am fortunate, we have an Eastern Church here in Reno, NV, though it is actually inside of a Catholic Cathedral-St Thomas Aquinas if you would like to see that also. I plan to attend a Sunday divine liturgy. I also contacted a Priest from a Greek Orthodox church here in Reno and asked if, as a Catholic, I may attend a service. He said I could, but of course, no communion. That would be my choice anyway, but I only want to go to deepen my own faith.

Breathing from 2 lungs as the Pope put it-

Here is a corrected list of the Divine Liturgy use by the various Eastern Catholic Churches. I found out that a Byzantine church may celebrate once a year (Oct 23) with the Liturgy of Saint James. The Armenian Liturgy of Saint Gregory comes from an early Liturgy of Saint Basil, and that of the Alexandrian church is different than the Byzantine and Armenian.

Armenian Liturgy of Saint Gregory (based upon St. Basil)
Saint Gregory the Illuminator, born cabout 257 A.D. - died about 331 A. D.

Coptic Liturgy of Saint Gregory
Saint Gregory of Nazianzus, Doctor of the Church, born about 325 A.D.

Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts recorded by:
Saint Gregory Dialogos born in Rome about the year 540 A.D.

Byzantine
Liturgy of Saint James
Liturgy of Saint Basil
Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom
Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts

Armenian
Liturgy of Saint Gregory (Saint Basil)

Alexanderian
Liturgy of Saint Basil (Coptic)
Liturgy of Saint Cyril (Saint Mark)
Liturgy of Saint Gregory of Naziansus

Antiochene
Liturgy of Saint James

Chaldean
Liturgy of Mar Addai & Mar Mari
Liturgy of Mar Theodore of Mapsuestia
Liturgy of Mar Nestorius
 
Thanks for all that info on the Eastern Church, but do you know if an actual Divine Liturgy is broadcast on any tv or satellite broadcast, where one could actually watch it?
