The Ukrainian (Greek) Catholic Eparchy of Saints Peter and Paul of Melbourne is a Byzantine Rite Eastern Catholic eparchy (diocese) of the Catholic Church in Australia based in Melbourne and suffragan of its Latin Metropolitan Archbishop of Melbourne.

The Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, in North Melbourne, Victoria, is the episcopal see of the eparch, currently Petro Stasiuk CSSR.

Status and jurisdiction

Like all Catholic dioceses in Australia, the eparchy is a member of the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference. The Roman Catholic Church is made up of the Latin or Western Catholic church and 21 Eastern Catholic particular churches sui iuris, one of which is the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

The eparchy is non-geographic, but demographic in that it has jurisdiction wherever Ukrainian Greeks are found in Australia, New Zealand and throughout Oceania. It has 21 churches and more schools, nursing homes and other institutions in Australia and New Zealand.

History

The (Oriental) eparchy was created on 10 May 1958 as the Apostolic Exarchate of Australia, for the faithful of the Ukrainian language Byzantine Rite, then exempt (directly subject to the Holy See). It cased to depend directly on the Holy See after it was elevated to an eparchy (diocese) on 24 June 1982 and made a suffragan in the ecclesiastical province of the Metropolitan (Latin) Archbishop of Melbourne.
