Eastern Catholic liturgies in the context of "Pontifical Greek College of Saint Athanasius"

The Pontifical Greek College of St. Athanasius (Italian: Pontificio Collegio Greco di Sant’Atanasio; Greek: Ποντιφίκιο Ελληνικό Κολλέγιο Αγίου Αθανασίου) is a Pontifical College in Rome that observes the Byzantine rite.

It was founded in 1577 by Pope Gregory XIII as a college for the training of priests and seminarians who worshipped according to the Greek Eastern Catholic liturgies and disciplines. More recently, seminarians from elsewhere and other Byzantine Rite Eastern Catholic Churches have attended: Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Greeks, Albanians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Belarusians, Slovaks; in past centuries, before the establishment of autonomous colleges, also Ukrainian and Ruthenian students. It also hosted representatives of the Eastern Orthodox world.
