Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Lviv, Ukrainian Greek Catholic metropolitan archeparchy in Lviv, Ukraine

The Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Lviv is an ecclesiastical province of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, erected in 1807 and based in Lviv. Its cathedral is St. George's, and it has three suffragan sees: Stryi, Sambir-Drohobych, and Sokal-Zhovkva. Since 2005 it has been led by Metropolitan Archbishop Ihor Vozniak.

The see began in the mid-12th century as the Orthodox Eparchy of Halych, was elevated to the Metropolis of Halych in 1303, and lost that status after 1401. In 1539 Sigismund I re-established the eparchy and moved its seat to Lviv; it joined the Union of Brest in 1700. In 1807 it became an archeparchy within the Habsburg Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, and in 1946 it was forced underground until 1989.

Saint George's Cathedral stands at the center of this Greek-Catholic community's religious life in the city. Visitors observe Eastern liturgical traditions woven together with Catholic faith.

The cathedral at Saint George's Square is where most religious services take place and where visitors can see the buildings and religious practices. It makes sense to explore the area on foot to understand the churches and their surroundings.

During Soviet times, the church lost its public role, but its community quietly continued its spiritual tradition underground. After 1990, it emerged from hiding and has since reclaimed its place in the city's religious life.
