Originally erected as an Apostolic Exarchate on 10 June 1957 for England and Wales, on 12 May 1968 the territory was expanded to the whole of Great Britain (excluding Northern Ireland). The UCC was elevated to eparchial status on 18 January 2013. The faithful in the Eparchy number approximately 13,500. There are currently 16 priests serving 15 parishes and 20 mission points.
