History

On 11 January 2002, the Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Odesa-Crimea was carved out of the Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Kyiv-Vyshhorod, the jurisdiction that later became the Ukrainian Catholic Major Archeparchy of Kyiv-Galicia. The exarchate itself was then split on 13 February 2014, yielding the Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Odesa (Latin: Archiepiscopi Exarchatus Odessana) and a separate Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Crimea.
