Ternopil-Zboriv Archeparchy of UGCC, Greek Catholic archeparchy in Ternopil region, Ukraine.
The Ternopil-Zboriv Archeparchy is a Greek Catholic church organization in western Ukraine based in the Ternopil region. It operates through a network of parishes and religious institutions serving believers across a large territorial area.
The Eparchy of Ternopil was erected on 20 April 1993 from territory of the Lviv Archeparchy, with Mykhailo Sabryha as first bishop. On 21 July 2000 it lost land to the new Buchach Eparchy and absorbed the suppressed Zboriv Eparchy, becoming Ternopil–Zboriv. It was elevated to an archeparchy on 21 November 2011, and in 2015 ceded territory to restore the Kamyanets-Podilskyi Eparchy.
The archeparchy's publishing department issues the monthly paper Bozhyi Siyach in a print run of nearly ten thousand copies. Catechetical courses run for four years at the regional teachers' institute, and the eparchy's radio programme Svitanok has broadcast on FM 101.1 on Saturdays and Sundays since 3 March 2002.
Visitors can attend churches and religious sites across the region to experience the Byzantine rite. The parishes are spread throughout the territory, so plan ahead to visit those that interest you.
The territory includes the Marian Spiritual Centre in Zarvanytsia, a major pilgrimage destination for the community. This sacred site draws pilgrims seeking veneration and spiritual renewal.
