Mission:

Romanian emigrants, mostly Orthodox, have taken Orthodoxy with them to their adopted countries. For this reason, one of the pastoral priorities of the Romanian Orthodox Church in the last decade has been to strengthen Romanian communities in the diaspora. There are more than 1,500 parishes beyond the borders of Romania.
The most important eparchies are:
Metropolitanate of Bessarabia;
Romanian Orthodox Metropolitanate of Western and Southern Europe;
Romanian Orthodox Metropolitanate of Germany, Central and Northern Europe;
Romanian Orthodox Metropolitan of America;
Diocese of Dacia Felix (Serbia);
The Romanian Orthodox Bishopric of Hungary;
The Romanian Orthodox Diocese of Australia and New Zealand.

The Romanian Patriarchate strives to preserve the unity and identity of Romanians through the establishment of eparchies, protopochies and parishes. In 2009, the Romanian Patriarchate established the “Romanian Migrants Sunday”, celebrated every year on the first Sunday after the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (15 August). The Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church declared 2021 as the Jubilee Year of the Pastoral Care of Romanians Outside Romania and organised events in this regard.
