The new eparchy is called the Eparchy of the Holy Family of London. The first Bishop of the Eparchy of the Holy Family of London is Bishop Hlib (Lonchyna) [catholicherald.co.uk], until now Apostolic Exarch of Great Britain. The news was announced by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales [alturl.com], the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church [alturl.com], and the Vatican [alturl.com] today. Axios! Axios! Axios!

Subdeacon John, I suspect it means that, for you and Anhelyna, it means that you'll have bragging rights - "I know an Eparch!" - sounds much more impressive than "I know an Exarch" Off-topic: Herb, Good to see you posting! Many years, Neil "One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."
