Melkite Greek Apostolic Exarchate of Argentina is an apostolic Exarchate (missionary pre \u2013 diocesan) of the Melkite Greek Catholic church covering all of Argentina for its Byzantine rite.<\/p>\n

It is immediately subject to the Melkite Catholic Patriarch of Antioch. It is currently covered by Bishop Ibrahim Salameh, SMSP.<\/p>\n

Apostolic Exarchate to the Melkites has jurisdiction over all the faithful of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church in Argentina. Its cathedral episcopal see is the cathedral of Saint George in the city of Cordoba, Argentina. In 2010 there were 300,000 baptized.<\/p>\n

The faithful Catholics of the Greek Melkite rite began arriving in Argentina in the late nineteenth century. Shortly thereafter between the years 1910 and 1930, there was a massive immigration. A second mass arrival took place after World War II, between 1949 and 1950. Most of the immigrants were Lebanese and Syrian citizens.<\/p>\n

There were also a few Palestinian families and very few Egyptians and Jordanians.<\/p>\n

There is no official statistics on the number of Melkites in Argentina. The \u201cecclesiastical guide of the eastern Catholic churches in the Argentine Republic\u201d edited in 1992 by the American Eparchy San Georgio de Narek, estimates that the Catholics of the Greek Melkites are about 15,000, while exponents of the new Exarchate rise that number to 400,000.<\/p>\n

Its three most important centers of worship, located in Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Rosario, are attended by their own priests. The largest community resides in Cordoba, about 50,000, for which reason the curia del Exarcado has its headquarters in that city.<\/p>\n

In order to attend spiritually to this community in our country, the Holy Father John Paul II erected, on April 20, 2002, the Apostolic Exarchate for the faithful Greco-Melkite Catholics of Argentina and established its headquarters in the city of Cordoba.<\/p>\n

The territory is divided into three parishes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. George Parish, Cordoba<\/p>\n
