Byzantine Catholic and other Eastern Catholic Churches

Byzantine Catholics (also known as "Greek Catholics") are organized according to eparchies (dioceses) and exarchates (mission dioceses). Historically eparchies and exarchates were defined geographicaly and this is still the norm and the goal. As Eastern Catholics emmigrated to the Americas from the countries of their spiritual and cultural ancestors there was a pastoral need for jurisdictions to be set up along ethnic lines. These jurisdictions still exist today even though in places like the United States parishes are made up of people who are now mostly culturally American and where ethnicity factors far less in parish life then it did a generation or two ago (although there remain a sizable number of parishes where the original ethnicity is a large part of parish life). Perhaps they will someday merge together as Byzantine Catholics proclaim the Gospel to peoples of all ethnicities.

Currently there are overlapping Byzantine Catholic jurisdicitons that were orignally created based upon ethnicity: Ruthenian, Ukrainian, Melkite and Romanian. Russian Byzantine Catholics and Italo-Greek-Albanian Byzantine Catholics do not have thier own hierarchy and are subject to the local Roman Catholic bishop.

Below you will find a complete listing of Byzantine Catholic and other Eastern Catholic jurisdicitons for North America.
