Slavonic,spoken by the Bulgars & Moravians was the "heathen vernacular" in the time of Sts. Cyril & Methodius (9th c) Only Latin, Greek & Hebrew were liturgical languages. The East has less difficulty w/ the vernacular usage than the West. HOW the liturgy is celebrated is far more important than the language (St. Elias is an English language parish that also uses Ukrainian, Greek, French) Even Archbishop Lefebvre said the Tridentine Mass in English is better than the Novus Ordo in Latin.
does the UGCC have the liturgical books that are using Church Slavonic? I wish that like the Summorum Pontificum of the Latin Rite, the UGCC will retain the use of this ancient language :D

St. Elias the Prophet Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Brampton, Ontario.
I'm a Latin-rite Catholic and I always encourage my Latin-rite friends to attend this parish to experience the glorious Byzantine Rite.
