History

The Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Lutsk (Lutsk of the Ukrainians) belongs to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which follows the Byzantine Rite in the Ukrainian language. It is an Archiepiscopal Exarchate, a rare Eastern Catholic pre-diocesan jurisdiction comparable to a Patriarchal exarchate, an Apostolic exarchate, or a Latin Apostolic vicariate (the other such cases are likewise Ukrainian Catholic). Its cathedral episcopal see is the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Theotokos in Lutsk (Луцьк), Volyn Oblast.
