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 Hungarian-Ukrainian. Elevated to a diocese in 2002, the diocese has only had one ordinary for the entirety of its existence.
