The Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches (Latin: Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium, abbreviated CCEO) is the title of the common portions of the Canon Law for the 22 of the 23 sui iuris Churches in the Catholic Church. Pope John Paul II promulgated CCEO on the 18th October 1990, by the document Sacri Canones. The Code came into force of law on the 1st October 1991.

The Particular Law (Canons) of the Ukrainian Catholic Church were promulgated on the 7th April 2015 by our Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk.

The Eparchy is committed to ensuring that Personal Data is properly and securely managed in accordance with the relevant data protection laws, and believes this is an important part of achieving trust and confidence between the Eparchy and those with whom it interacts.

All Eparchial personnel are advised to reflect carefully on Pope Francis’ guidance on the use of social media. In particular, the Holy Father has noted: “The speed with which information is communicated exceeds our capacity for reflection and judgment, and this does not make for more balanced and proper forms of expression. … We need, for example, to recover a certain sense of deliberateness and calm. This calls for time and the ability to be silent and to listen.”
