The Eparchy of Saint Vladimir the Great of Paris (French: Éparchie Saint Vladimir-le-Grand de Paris des Ukrainiens; Ukrainian: Єпархія Святого Володимира Великого у Парижі) is an eparchy of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, a sui iuris church of the Roman Catholic Church. Its territory encompasses France, Belgium, Luxemburg, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

Its cathedral is the Cathédrale Saint-Volodymyr-le-Grand in the episcopal see of Paris.

The former eparch Borys Gudziak was appointed as Archeparch of Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia on 4 February 2019, while Hlib Lonchyna, Eparch of Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of the Holy Family of London was appointed as apostolic administrator.

History

The eparchy was erected on 22 July 1960 as apostolic exarchate for the French, Benelux and Swiss faithful of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

On 19 January 2013 the exarchate was elevated in the rank of the eparchy by Pope Benedict XVI. It remains immediately subject to the Major Archbishop of Kyiv–Halyč, without belonging to his metropolitan province.
