From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antin (Antoni) Angelovych (Anhelovych, Anhelovich, Angelovich, Angelowicz, Angełłowicz) (13 April 1756, Hryniv, near Bibrka - 6 June 1814, Lviv) was a Greek-Catholic metropolitan.
He studied at the Barbareum and in 1793 became the first rector of the Greek Catholic Theological Seminary in Lviv. In 1794 he became professor of dogma and in 1796 rector of Lviv University. In 1795 he was appointed bishop of Peremyshl; in 1798, administrator of the Lviv eparchy; in 1804, administrator of the Kholm eparchy; and in 1805, administrator of both the Lviv and Kholm eparchies.[1] After the decision to re-establish Galician metropoly (Emperor Francis I of Austria in 1806, and Pope Pius VII in 1807), Angelovych became the first Greek-Catholic metropolitan in Lviv (1808-1814).[2]
