What has happened to the Belarusian Greek Catholic Church in Belarus today? It seems that it’s basically non existent, especially when compared to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Chuch.

Did most Belarusian Greek Catholics end up joining the Roman rite?

God bless

From CNEWA:
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of Belarus in 1991, Belarusan Greek Catholics began to emerge once again. By early 1992 three priests and two deacons were at work and, unlike most of their Roman Catholic and Orthodox colleagues, were celebrating the liturgy in Belarusan. A survey of religious affiliation undertaken by the Belarus State University in 1992 indicated that about 100,000 Belarusans self-identified as Greek Catholic. In 1993 Archimandrite Sergiusz Gajek, M.I.C., was named Apostolic Visitator to the Greek Catholics in Belarus. At the beginning of 2005, there were 20 Greek Catholic parishes in Belarus, 13 of them registered with the authorities. There were about 3,000 faithful worshiping in these parishes, served by ten priests.
