Archeparchy of Hajdúdorog

The Archeparchy of Hajdúdorog operates from its main administrative center in Debrecen, serving the Hungarian Greek Catholic community across northeastern Hungary.

Pope Pius X established the Eparchy of Hajdúdorog in 1912, initially serving 162 Hungarian-speaking Greek Catholic parishes throughout the northeastern regions.

The churches within the archeparchy feature Neo-Byzantine architecture with distinct mosaic ornaments in their altars and colorful stained glass windows.

The headquarters at Petőfi Square 8 in Debrecen functions as both an administrative center and a dormitory within the former Hotel Debrecen building.

More than half of the diocesan priests in the Hungarian Greek Catholic Church maintain marriage status, differing from traditional Catholic practice.
