The By-laws of the Russian Orthodox-Catholic Society of Mutual aid as a Source for Studying Rusin Immigration in the United States of America

The author considers the By-Laws of the Russian Orthodox Catholic Mutual Aid Society of the United States of America. In this article, which will be part of a series of articles, the author focuses on the first four parts of the By-Laws devoted to the official designations and symbols of the Society, its objectives, and the conditions for membership, with particular attention paid to its different types. The author concludes that the main objectives of the Society set by the By-laws consisted not only in the insurance coverage of Slavic immigrant population in the USA, but also the promotion of the Orthodox and Slavic culture aimed at preserving the national identity of those who happened to be away from their native lands. The Society was interested in recruiting healthy young people who were able to pay monthly contributions and take an active participation in social and cultural life, especially in strengthening the position of the Orthodox Church in North America.
