The history of the diocese begins 1993 when the Apostolic Administration of
Zakarpattia (
Latin Name: Transcarpatiae Latinorum) was split off from the
Diocese of Szatmár. This is unique among the Ukrainian dioceses, the remainder of which were all split off from
Lviv, which has been associated with Polish culture. Mukachevo Roman Catholics are mostly members of the
Hungarian minority in Ukraine. Elevated to a diocese in 2002, its first bishop was
Antal Majnek until 28 January 2022. ==Geography==
