A church across the street from another church? Let me guess: Ss. Cyril & Methodius is Orthodox (or Eastern rite) and Nativity BVM is Roman Catholic.

SS Cyril & Methodius was a Roman Catholic parish founded by Czechs. Nativity, which is now is Palos Park, is Eastern Rite Catholic founded by Ukrainians.

It was never Orthodox. It was Ukrainian Catholic, which in appearance is quite similar to the Orthodox. When I was a kid I too thought it was Russian Orthodox.

What was the church on 51st right before Ashland? Wasn't that a Orthdox church. It had two cross bars on the cross. Ther was a Greek Orthdox church probably on Hoyne and 49th.

There was an Orthodox Church on 44th-Paulina across the street from Davis Square and it's still standing though no longer Orthodox, and a Byzantine Catholic Church on 49th-Seeley. The only church near 51st-Ashland was St Martini Lutheran.

Eric, Your right it was St Martini. I thought about after I left the note. Also, the church on 49th and Hoyne was a Russian Ortodox church and not a Greek Orthodox. A neighbor of ours was Russian and that was his church.

That was St Mary at 49th-Seeley. They were Byzantine Catholic, which was also called Greek Catholic at one time as well. The parish was made up of Ruthenians or Rusyns (either is correct) The building was sold in the 90's and they merged with a parish from Joliet and are now Annunciation in Homer Glen. Once again, people often conclude that Eastern Rite Catholics are Orthodox because of the many similarities in there worship.
