The Macedonian Byzantine Catholic Church is a Byzantine Rite sui juris Eastern Catholic Church in full union with the Roman Catholic Church which uses the Macedonian language in the liturgy.
The Macedonian Church consists of a single Apostolic Exarchate.[gci 1]
An Apostolic Exarch was appointed for Macedonia as early as 1883 until 1922/1924[gci 2][cha 1] as part of the Bulgarian Greek Catholic Church.[1] After the end of World War I and the foundation of Yugoslavia, the Exarchate was absorbed into the Eparchy of Križevci. The Holy See has since 2001 appointed the Latin Bishops of Skopje as the Apostolic Exarch of Macedonia. [cnewa 1] The Catholic Church separated the Exarchate from the Byzantines of Križevci in 2008.[2]
As of 2010, the Church's membership was estimated at approximately 15,037 faithful, with one bishop, 7 parishes, 11 priests, and 18 religious sisters.[cnewa 2]
