Transition of church communities to OCU

The transition of church communities to the OCU is the process of transition of parishes, previously affiliated to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) (UOC MP), from that metropolis to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU). This process began with the Unification Council of 15 December 2018, which resulted in the creation of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Between 15 December 2018 and 7 November 2022, 1153 parishes (or about 9.5% of the 12,092 parishes the UOC MP had in December 2018) announced their transition from the UOC MP to the OCU.Пів року без МП: декілька сотень парафій УПЦ сказали прощай патріархату-окупантуСкільки православних громад перейшли до ПЦУ

In 2022 after the start of Russian invasion of Ukraine about 700 more parishes transferred from the UOC (MP) to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. In general, in four years after the unification council, almost 1,500 religious communities joined the OCU.До ПЦУ з 24 лютого приєдналися ще понад 700 парафій Throughout 2023 386 UOC (MP) parishes joined the OCU.
