The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (GOArch; Greek: Ελληνική Ορθόδοξη Αρχιεπισκοπή Αμερικής), headquartered in New York City, is an eparchy of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Its current primate is Archbishop Elpidophoros of America. The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese comprises some 530~ parishes and 20 monasteries across the United States of America, as of 2021. In 2015, the church claimed 1.5 million baptized members. Before the establishment of a Greek Archdiocese in the Western Hemisphere there were numerous communities of Greek Orthodox Christians. On June 26, 1768, the first Greek colonists landed at St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in America. The first Greek Orthodox community in the Americas was founded in 1864, in New Orleans, Louisiana, by a small colony of Greek merchants. The first permanent community was founded in New York City in 1892, today's Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity and the See of the Archbishop of America. The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America was incorporated in 1921, and officially recognized by the State of New York in 1922. More information...
