The Structure of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church



On the eve of World War II, the Greek Catholic Church functioned on Ukrainian territories that belonged to Poland, and consisted of the Lviv archeparchy, the Stanislaviv (now called Ivano-Frankivsk) and Przemyszl eparchies, the apostolic administration for Lemkivshchyna and the Apostolic Exarchate for Volyn, Kholmshchyna and Pidlassia.
