Your proper pastor, which would be the pastor that is assigned to care for you, is the one that has the authority to do the funeral.Thank you! I was specifically wondering if someone is Russian Catholic and doesn’t have a Bishop of their rite or a parish and is under the care of the Latin Ordinary, and attends a Latin parish… If when the time comes they could have a funeral in the Latin parish.
Byzcath.org has this:
Russian Catholics are canonically subject to the Roman Catholic ordinary within whose geographic jurisdiction they reside. However, the following canonical accommodations presently exist as regards the Russian Greek-Catholic parishes in the United States:
- St Andrew the First – Called Russian Greek-Catholic parish (El Segundo, CA)
- formally committed to the spiritual omophorion of the Eparchy of Newton of the Melkites;
- ***Our Lady of Fatima Byzantine ***(Russian Greek-Catholic) parish (San Francisco)
- informally committed to the spiritual omophorion of the Eparchy of Newton of the Melkites;
- Ss Cyril & Methodius Russian Greek-Catholic Community (Denver, CO)
- informally committed to the spiritual omophorion of the Eparchy of St George in Canton of the Romanians;
- ***St Michael the Archangel ***Russian Greek-Catholic parish (NYC)
- currently served by Melkite clergy, but without any formal or informal commitment to of by the Eparchy of Newton of the Melkites.
