Diocese of Mexico (OCA)
The Orthodox Church in America Exarchate of Mexico is a missionary diocese of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). Its territory includes parishes, monasteries, and missions located in four states in Mexico (as well as the Mexican Federal District) – Chiapas, México, Jalisco, and Veracruz. The diocesan chancery is located in the Mexican Federal District.
The current Exarch of Mexico is the Most Reverend Dmitri (Royster), who also serves as the archbishop of the Diocese of the South.
The Mexican Exarchate was created through the mass conversion (some 10,000 persons) of the entire Mexican National Catholic Church to Orthodoxy in 1972 (see Timeline of Orthodoxy in America).
