Basil Shereghy
Monsignor Basil Shereghy (1918 – 1988) was a leading Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church priest and professor, as well as a cultural activist for Rusyns in the United States.
He was born in Dorobratovo (Hungarian Drágabártfalva), Austria-Hungary (historic Czechoslovakia (1918–1939), Hungary (1939–45), now Ukraine). Ordained in 1942 in the Eparchy of Mukachevo, he taught in the Greek Catholic seminary in Uzhorod during World War II.
In 1946 he emigrated to the United States, serving for the rest of his life in the Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Church of Pittsburgh.

He also was a longtime editor (1970–1986) of the diocesan newspaper Byzantine Catholic World, which he co-founded with Athanasius Pekar.
