Ternopil-Zboriv Archeparchy of UGCC

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 archeparchy was established in 1993 after Ukraine gained independence as a new church administrative structure. It received its archeparchy status in 2011, raising its importance in the Eastern Catholic hierarchy.

The faithful here worship following Byzantine traditions in their religious services and celebrations. This church order shapes daily life across parishes and creates a network of believers sharing their faith practices.

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.
