The Ruthenian Uniate Church catechism constitutes the basis for the linguistic analysis. The main objective of the article is to investigate how Middle Polish influenced the developing liturgical language of the Ruthenian Uniate Church. After analysing the text’s language, it could be said that in the period from the foundation of that church to the three partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Polish language had significant influence on the evolution of the church’s liturgical language and affected its phonetics and morphology.
