The Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile (Ukrainian: "УКРАЇНСЬКА КАТОЛИЦЬКА КАТЕДРА "ПРЕСВ. СКИТАЛЬЧОЇ РОДИНИ" y Лондоні, Апостольський екзархат у Великобританії") is the cathedral of the Ukrainain Greek Catholic Apostolic Exarchate in Great Britain. [Structure of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church [http://www.ugcc.org.ua/eng/ugcc_structure/structure/] ] Though independent from the authority of the Latin Rite hierarchy in England and Wales, and instead under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Catholic apostolic exarch (currently vacant), territorially, the cathedral is considered to be part of the Marylebone deanery of the Latin Rite Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster.
