History
Five countries, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, the Netherlands and Switzerland, together form the territory of the Eparchy of Saint Volodymyr the Great of Paris (French: Éparchie Saint Volodymyr-le-Grand de Paris des Ukrainiens; Ukrainian: Єпархія Святого Володимира Великого у Парижі). The jurisdiction belongs to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, a sui iuris Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with the Catholic Church. From the episcopal see of Paris, the Cathédrale Saint-Volodymyr-le-Grand serves as its cathedral.
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
