The Holy Protection of Mary Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Phoenix serves Byzantine Catholics living in the Western United States and is open to all who are seeking a spiritual home.
We live and proclaim the Gospel of Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ. -
As the sixth bishop, I pledge to build upon the legacy of my predecessors, sowing the seeds of the Gospel alongside our clergy. Through my own prayer, fasting, and penance, and in dedicated service to our religious and laity, I ask for your prayers.

Most Reverend Artur Bubnevych
Bishop of the Eparchy of Phoenix
