A Spiritual Tradition Centuries Old
The European Diocese is one of the dioceses of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, Archdiocese of Ohrid, and it serves believers in the countries of Western and Central Europe.
It was founded to unite Macedonian Orthodox believers in the diaspora. Over the decades it has grown into a spiritual anchor that safeguards faith, tradition and the cultural identity of the Macedonian people far from their homeland.
Our Light and Mission
The diocese's first priority is the spiritual guidance of the faithful, the preservation of the holy canons and a liturgical life lived in communion with Christ.
We strive to be a place where every Macedonian can find spiritual comfort, brotherly love and support in facing the challenges of modern life abroad.
