Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Kyiv, Eastern Catholic archeparchy in Kyiv, Ukraine

The Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Kyiv extends across 178,270 square kilometers in central Ukraine, serving 12.5 million people through the Byzantine Rite.

The Archeparchy emerged from the Union of Brest in 1596, when several Ruthenian Orthodox bishops transferred jurisdiction from Constantinople to Rome.

The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Kyiv functions as the main religious center, following Eastern Catholic traditions while maintaining communion with Rome.

The Archeparchy maintains regular communication with its congregations through its newspaper Sobor and provides administrative services across central Ukraine.

The episcopal seat transferred from Lviv to Kyiv in 2004, marking the first time since 1838 that Kyiv received its own ecclesiastical governance.

Inception: 1596
