Andy Warhol was a practicing Byzantine Rite Catholic. His family in Pittsburgh, the Warhola family worshipped regularly at St. John Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church. It's still there at 506 Saline Street. In his final decade (1980s), he attended at St. Vincents Ferrer Roman Catholic Church and many of his later works contain almost-hidden religious themes or subjects. The priest there said of his "Religious Beliefs" that the artist went there almost daily, "although he never took communion or made confession, and sat or knelt in the pews at the back." The priest assumed he was afraid of being recognized; Warhol said he was self-conscious about being seen in a Roman Catholic church crossing himself " in the Orthodox way".
