History
Curitiba in Brazil is home to this Ukrainian Greek Catholic archeparchy, the Archparchy or Archdiocese of (São João Batista em) Curitiba (Latin: Archparchia Sancti Ioannis Baptistae Curitibensis Ucrainorum), which also serves as the metropolitan see of a Ukrainian Greek Catholic ecclesiastical province there. That province counts a single suffragan: the Eparchy of Imaculada Conceição in Prudentópolis (Ukrainian).
