The Eparchy of the Holy Family of London (Ukrainian: Єпархія Пресвятої Родини у Лондоні; Latin: Eparchia Sanctae Familiae Londiniensis) is an eparchy of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church which is an Eastern Catholic Church that is in full communion with the Holy See. It's territorial remit includes the entirety of the islands of Great Britain and Ireland. The episcopal seat is the Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile which is situated in the city of London. The incumbent eparch, Kenneth Nowakowski, was appointed on 15 January 2020.[1]
Initially erected as an exarchate, it gained eparchial status (equivalent to a diocese in the Latin Church) on 18 January 2013. Due to the comparatively small number of faithful in the eparchy, fewer services, such as schools and care centres, are provided.
