Ukrainian Greek Catholics in the United States were given ''[[sui iuris]]'' status as an [[ordinariate for the faithful of eastern rite]] by [[Pope Pius X]] in 1914. Prior to that, all Ukrainian Greek Catholics had been under the jurisdiction of the local [[Latin Church]] ordinary. In 1924, the status of the ordinariate was elevated to that of [[exarchate]], known as the ''Apostolic Exarchate of United States of America, Faithful of the Oriental Rite (Ukrainian)''. The Exarchate was then elevated to the status of Archeparchy by [[Pope Pius XII]] in 1950. In 1983, the Archeparchy lost part of its territory to the new (though still [[Suffragan diocese|suffragan]]) [[Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma|Eparchy of Parma]] erected by [[Pope John Paul II]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ukrarcheparchy.us/index.php?categoryid=12|title=Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia|website=www.ukrarcheparchy.us|access-date=30 August 2018}}</ref> |

The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia is a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church ecclesiastical territory or archeparchy of the Catholic Church in the Eastern United States. Its episcopal see is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Archeparchy of Philadelphia is a metropolitan see with three suffragan eparchies in its ecclesiastical province. The Archeparchy of Philadelphia's territorial jurisdiction includes the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and the eastern and central portions of Pennsylvania.
The current archbishop of the archeparchy is Borys Gudziak, installed on June 4, 2019.[1][2]
Ukrainian Greek Catholics in the United States were given sui iuris status as an ordinariate for the faithful of eastern rite by Pope Pius X in 1914. Prior to that, all Ukrainian Greek Catholics had been under the jurisdiction of the local Latin Church ordinary. In 1924, the status of the ordinariate was elevated to that of exarchate, known as the Apostolic Exarchate of United States of America, Faithful of the Oriental Rite (Ukrainian). The Exarchate was then elevated to the status of Archeparchy by Pope Pius XII in 1950. In 1983, the Archeparchy lost part of its territory to the new (though still suffragan) Eparchy of Parma erected by Pope John Paul II.[3]
As of 2016[update], the archeparchy has approximately 13,051 Catholics and 64 parishes under its canonical jurisdiction.[4]
