Yes. I attended St. Michael’s in New York (which is a Russian Catholic parish) and the St. James liturgy was used.
Today is also the Byzantine feast of St James the Apostle, brother of our Lord.
Whoops…I was wrong. Today is NOT the feast of Saint James in the Latin Rite calendar (I must have been thinking of the Byzantine Rite calendar and put Latin Rite calendar down by mistake). It would still be nice to know which other Byzantine Rite churches in communion with Rome still use the Liturgy of Saint James and when (in particular, does the Ruthenian Catholic Church still use the Liturgy of Saint James at all?).Today is also the Byzantine feast of St James the Apostle, brother of our Lord.
Troparion in Tone 4
“O holy James, as a disciple of the Lord, you received the Gospel. As a martyr, you displayed an unyielding will. As a hierarch, you have the right of intercession. Intercede therefore with Christ God that He may save our souls.”
I believe the OP specifically asked for its use in the Byzantine churches, for whom the Liturgy of St James is not typical. I think we’re aware that our blessed Syriac brothers do use it as their typical liturgy.
Ideally yes. However you’d be hard pressed to find even a few Latin Catholics who know there are non-Greek Eastern Catholics let alone the particularities of our liturgical uses.I believe the OP specifically asked for its use in the Byzantine churches, for whom the Liturgy of St James is not typical.
