Hungarian Catholic Eparchy of Nyíregyháza

The Hungarian (Greek) Catholic Eparchy of Nyíregyháza is an eparchy (diocese) of the Hungarian Catholic Church, an Eastern Catholic church which uses the Byzantine Rite in the Hungarian language.

It has its cathedral episcopal see, Szent Miklós Görögkatolikus székesegyház, in Nyiregyháza (Hungary). It is a suffragan of the Hungarian Catholic Archeparchy of Hajdúdorog, a Metropolitanate sui juris and the Hungarian Catholics' only province.

History

It was created by the Holy See on 20 March 2015, on territory split off from the then Hungarian Catholic Eparchy of Hajdúdorog, which at the same time was elevated to an Archepararchy and became Nyiregyházai's Metropolitan, the other suffragan being the former Apostolic Exarchate of Miskolc, which was simultaneously promoted to Eparchy.
