Bishop Marián Andrej Pacák Appointed New Greek Catholic Visitator for Western Europe

Bishop Marián Andrej Pacák has been appointed as the new visitator for Greek Catholics in Western Europe, returning to frontline service for the community. Pacák takes over the mission from Bishop Milan Lach. The Greek Catholic Church, also known as the Byzantine Rite Catholic Church, maintains Eastern Orthodox liturgical traditions while being in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. The visitator position involves overseeing Greek Catholic communities and pastoral care across Western European countries, where many Slovak and Ukrainian Greek Catholics have emigrated for work or due to recent conflicts.
