The Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Lviv, a Byzantine Rite Archeparchy, is an active metropolitan see in Ukraine, encompassing the city of Lviv and surrounding districts in Lviv Oblast. Established as an eparchy in 1539 and elevated to an archeparchy in 1807, it is led by Archbishop Ihor Vozniak as of 2005. As the head of the Ecclesiastical Province of Lviv, it oversees three suffragan eparchies and is renowned for its role in preserving Ukrainian Greek Catholic traditions during Soviet suppression. Notably, its St. George’s Cathedral in Lviv, a Baroque-Rococo masterpiece, served as a focal point for the underground Church from 1946 to 1989, symbolizing resilience and faith.
