Military archdiocese

Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS) serves as the endorsing agency for Catholic chaplains in the U.S. military and also provides pastoral services to Catholics serving in the U.S. armed forces, patients in Veterans Affairs hospitals, and their families.

It was created by Pope John Paul II in 1985, although its roots go back further with military vicariates and earlier forms of chaplaincy support.

Unlike traditional dioceses that are geographically bound, the AMS has jurisdiction over:

  • All U.S. military installations worldwide.
  • U.S. diplomatic missions.
  • Veterans Administration facilities in the U.S.

The AMS is led by an Archbishop, who works with auxiliary bishops, all of whom are responsible for ensuring the sacramental needs of Catholic military personnel are met.

Catholic priests who serve as military chaplains must receive endorsement from the AMS. This means they are approved to serve both as priests and as military officers.

Eastern Catholic eparchies

Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) in the United States is organized under a structure that reflects both its religious tradition and its adaptation to the American context. The highest level of organization for the UGCC in the U.S. is the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia. This is essentially the equivalent of an archdiocese in the Latin Rite.

Under the Archeparchy, there are several eparchies:

  1. Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Chicago (St. Nicholas in Chicago)
  2. Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Stamford (serves the New England area and New York)
  3. Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Parma (covers the Midwest, parts of the South, and the West excluding California)
  4. Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma (This was merged into the Parma Eparchy but was historically separate.)

The leadership includes:

  • Metropolitan Archbishop: Heads the Archeparchy of Philadelphia.
  • Eparchs: These are the bishops who lead each eparchy.

Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church

The Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church in the United States is structured under the umbrella of the Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Church of Pittsburgh. The Archeparchy of Pittsburgh is the metropolitan see for the Ruthenian Greek Catholics in the U.S. This means the Metropolitan Archbishop of Pittsburgh is the head of the Church in America. It is composed of a few Eparchies (Dioceses):

  • Eparchy of Parma: Serves parishes primarily in Ohio, but also in parts of several other states including Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and others in the Midwest.
  • Eparchy of Passaic: Covers the Eastern U.S., including New Jersey, New York, Florida, and several other states along the East Coast.
  • Eparchy of Phoenix: Originally established as the Eparchy of Van Nuys in California, it was later moved to Phoenix, Arizona, covering the Western United States.

The Leadership:

  • Metropolitan Archbishop: The leader of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh, who has certain oversight responsibilities over all the Ruthenian eparchies in the U.S.
  • Eparchs: Bishops who head each of the respective eparchies.

Eastern Catholic eparchies in the United States immediately subject to the Holy See

In the United States, there are several Eastern Catholic eparchies (dioceses) that are immediately subject to the Holy See, meaning they are not part of a larger metropolitan structure within the U.S. but rather report directly to Rome. Here's an overview of these eparchies:

Create Armenian Catholic Eparchy of Our Lady of Nareg

  • Location: Based in Glendale, California, but serves Armenian Catholics across the United States and Canada.

  • Background: The Chaldean Catholic Church originates from Iraq, with many followers having migrated due to conflicts in their home region.

Create Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of St. Thomas the Apostle

  • Location: Based in Southfield, Michigan, this eparchy serves the Eastern United States.

Create Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn

  • Location: Covers the Eastern United States with its seat in Brooklyn, New York.

Create Syro-Malabar Catholic Eparchy of St. Thomas of Chicago

  • Location: Located in Chicago, Illinois, this eparchy serves the Syro-Malabar Catholics, who trace their origin to Kerala, India.
  • Background: This Church is one of the most significant Eastern Catholic Churches in terms of the number of faithful, and it has seen considerable growth in the diaspora due to migration from India.

Create Syro-Malankara Catholic Eparchy of the USA and Canada

  • Location: The eparchy's main office is in Elmont, New York, but it serves the entire United States and Canada.
  • Background: The Syro-Malankara Catholic Church also has its roots in Kerala, India, with a mission to serve its community abroad.

Personal ordinariate (Anglican Use)

The Personal Ordinariates for former Anglicans entering into full communion with the Catholic Church are unique structures created to accommodate groups of Anglicans or Episcopalians wishing to maintain some elements of their liturgical, spiritual, and pastoral traditions while being fully Catholic.

In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI issued the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus, which provided for the establishment of personal ordinariates for former Anglicans. This was in response to requests from various Anglican groups seeking to retain aspects of their patrimony while entering into full communion with the Catholic Church.

Personal Ordinariate is similar to a diocese but is not bound by geographical boundaries; instead, it serves members wherever they are located. There are three such ordinariates worldwide:

  1. The Create Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham - For England, Scotland, and Wales.
  2. The Create Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter - For the United States and Canada.
    • Headquarters: Based in Houston, Texas.
    • Ordinary: The head of this ordinariate has the equivalent authority of a bishop but might not necessarily be ordained as a bishop if he is married (a nod to the Anglican tradition where clergy can be married). However, he exercises jurisdiction over the faithful of the ordinariate.
  3. The Create Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross - For Australia and Japan.
