Armenian Catholic Archeparchy of Lviv, Catholic Archieparchy in Lviv, Ukraine
The Armenian Catholic Archeparchy of Lviv is a Catholic religious authority overseeing Armenian Catholic communities in the region. Its administrative center coordinates religious life and parish activities for followers throughout the area.
The Archeparchy was established in 1630 when a Catholic profession of faith was made and papal approval followed. This decision marked a separate path from another major church union, allowing the community to later establish full communion with Rome.
The Archeparchy maintains Armenian Catholic traditions that shape how followers practice their faith in Lviv. Walking through the city, you can observe how these customs are woven into local religious life and community gatherings.
You can visit the Archeparchy during religious services held in the city and learn more about its activities. It helps to ask locally about exact times and events, as these may vary with the season.
The Archeparchy took a deliberate path by rejecting a major church union movement from the 16th century. This independent stance let the community preserve its Armenian roots while developing its Roman Catholic connection on its own terms.
