The
Byzantine Metropolitan Church sui iuris of Pittsburgh
was established as the Exarchate of Pittsburgh in 1924. This
Exarchate expanded to become the Eparchy of Pittsburgh and the
Eparchy of Passaic in 1963.
Full
status as a Metropolitan Church was granted in 1969 with the
designation of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh, the Eparchy of
Passaic, the Eparchy of Parma and, later, the Eparchy of Van
Nuys.
The
Metropolitan Church is governed by the Council of Hierarchs
comprised of the Metropolitan Archbishop and the bishops of
each of the eparchies.
