COMMUNIQUE OF
THE HOLY ASSEMBLY OF BISHOPS
OF THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH
on Thursday, May 21, 2009
The Holy Hierarchical Assembly
of the Serbian Orthodox Church during its meeting on May 21,
2009, based on the recommendation of the Episcopal Council of the
Serbian Orthodox Church in North and South America regarding the
restructuring of the existing dioceses in North and South America,
rendered the following decision confirming the Constitution of the
Serbian Orthodox Church in North and South America, according to
which the Dioceses of our Church on that territory will be
structured in the following manner:
1. THE METROPOLITANATE OF LIBERTYVILLE-CHICAGO, with its
See at St. Sava Monastery in Libertyville (comprised of St. Sava
Monastery in Libertyville, Illinois and the Holy Resurrection
Cathedral Church with its three parishes), whose Metropolitan
shall be president of the Episcopal and Central Church Councils
and of the Church-Laity Assembly, and thereby the ex officio
representative of the Serbian Orthodox Church on that territory.
2. THE DIOCESE OF NEW GRACANICA-MIDWESTERN AMERICA, with
its See at New Gracanica Monastery (comprised of all the church
school congregations, parishes and monasteries in Chicago - with
the exception of the aforementioned Holy Resurrection Cathedral -
and of the other states of the previous Metropolitanate of
Midwestern American, as well as all the church-school
congregations, parishes and monasteries of the previous Diocese
for America and Canada of the New Gracanica Metropolitanate on the
territiory of the previous Metropolitanate of Midwestern America).
3. THE DIOCESE OF EASTERN AMERICA, with its See in
Pittsburgh/Mars (comprised of all parishes the Church-School
Congregations, Parishes and Monasteries of the current Eastern
American Diocese and the Church-School Congregations, Parishes and
Monasteries of the previous Diocese for America and Canada of the
New Gracanica Metropolitanate on the territory of Eastern America)
4. THE DIOCESE OF WESTERN AMERICA, with its See in Los
Angeles/Alhambra (comprised of all the Church-School
Congregations, Parishes and Monasteries of the current Western
American Diocese and the Church-School Congregations, and Parishes
of the previous Diocese for America and Canada of the New
Gracanica Metropolitanate on the territory of Western America).
5. THE DIOCESE OF CANADA, with its See in Toronto/Monastery
Milton (comprised of all the Church-School Congregations, Parishes
and Monasteries of the current Canadian Diocese and the
Church-School Congregations and Parishes of the previous Diocese
for America and Canada of the New Gracanica Metropolitanate on the
territory of Canada).
With this decision on restructuring, inasmuch as it alters and
amends Article 8 of the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox
Church in North and South America, the previous titles "Metropolitanate
of Midwestern America" and "Diocese for America and Canada of the
New Gracanica Metropolitanate" cease to exist, and the new borders
for these Dioceses of the Serbian Orthodox Church in North and
South America are established.
