Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Parma |
Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma is a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or eparchy of the Catholic Church in the United States. Its episcopal see is Parma, Ohio. It was established in 1983 by Pope John Paul II. The eparchy encompasses parishes in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, western Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma is a suffragan eparchy in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archeparchy of Philadelphia.
The eparchy is named for St. Josaphat Kuntsevych, O.S.B.M., who was Eastern Catholic martyred in anti-Catholic violence by Eastern Orthodox following the Union of Brest.
History
Ohio became a major site of ethnic Ukrainian and Ruthenian immigration in the 1870s. By the 1880s, Cleveland and Tremont were sites of major Ukrainian communities. Parma and other Ohio towns were further populated by Ukrainian diaspora fleeing in the wake of the First World War and subsequent incorporation of Ukraine into the Soviet Union.[1] Another major wave of Ukrainian immigration to the United States came after President Harry S. Truman signed the Displaced Persons Act in 1948.[2]
