Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Krym

The Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Krym operates as an Eastern Catholic ecclesiastical territory serving the Crimean region from its base in Simferopol.

Established in February 2014, this exarchate emerged from the division of the Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Odesa-Crimea to address regional ecclesiastical needs.

The exarchate follows Byzantine Rite traditions within the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, maintaining Eastern Christian liturgical practices and spiritual customs.

Currently administered from Odesa, the exarchate coordinates religious services and pastoral care for Ukrainian Catholic communities throughout the Crimean peninsula.

This institution represents one of only five archiepiscopal exarchates worldwide, all functioning under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
