Eastern Ordinariate of France, Ecclesiastical jurisdiction for Eastern Catholics in Paris, France.
The Eastern Ordinariate of France provides administrative and pastoral services to Eastern Catholic communities throughout the French territory, operating under the Metropolitan Archbishop of Paris.
The Holy See established the Eastern Ordinariate of France on June 16, 1954, following the increasing presence of Middle Eastern immigrants since the 1920s.
Eastern Catholic parishes within the ordinariate maintain their traditional liturgical practices, including services in Chaldean, Coptic, and Byzantine rites across multiple locations.
The ordinariate manages twelve parishes across France, including Saint Thomas the Apostle in Sarcelles and Our Lady of Chaldeans in both Paris and Marseille.
The institution serves approximately 25,170 Eastern Catholic faithful who practice their faith within a predominantly Latin Catholic environment while preserving their distinct traditions.
Inception: 1954
Part of: Holy See, Catholic Church in France
