Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Krym, Archiepiscopal exarchate in Simferopol, Ukraine
The Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Krym is an Eastern Catholic ecclesiastical administration headquartered in Simferopol. It serves Ukrainian Catholic communities across the Crimean peninsula and coordinates their pastoral care.
The exarchate was established in February 2014, arising from the division of the previous Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Odesa-Crimea. This separation allowed for improved ecclesiastical administration of the region.
The community follows Byzantine traditions and Eastern Christian liturgies that shape daily religious life. These practices blend Eastern and Western Catholic elements in a distinctive way.
The exarchate is currently administered from Odesa, meaning inquiries and matters are coordinated from there. Visitors should know that this institution is an ecclesiastical administration office, not accessible like a museum or tourist site.
This institution represents one of only five archiepiscopal exarchates worldwide, all functioning under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. This rare ecclesiastical structure makes it a special administrative form in global Christianity.
