About The
Metropolitan Archdiocese
It was by God’s will that the Patriarchate of the West-Indies, after being relegated to a titular status then made to lay dormant for decades by the Vatican, would be separated from the Roman Catholic Church and restored to use under the banner of the United Holy Caribbean Apostolic Church, led His Beatitude the Most Reverend Lord Trevor ‘Elihu’ Greene, Metropolitan Archbishop of Port-of-Spain and 36th Patriarch of the Caribbean West-Indies.
The need for expansion and the formation of new bishops for the Caribbean came before the Patriarch in his prayers and contemplation. In late-2022, the Patriarchate reached out to clergy in Haiti in a formal introduction and discussions of unity and covering after their wrongful release from another 'Christian ecclesial community'. After much dialogue and prayer between them, the Holy Synod of the Church agreed that a need was present to be met, and “an Orthodox Metropolitan Archdiocese of Haiti” was to be formed immediately, being canonically seen as the Orthodox Catholic Church of Haiti.
In 2023, the Patriarchate held the 1st & 2nd Antilles' Synods. It was at these sessions that, after much talks and careful examination of the clergy (interviewing each clergyman, review of holy orders, theological agreements, etc.), the Haitian Clergy were formally received into the Church. It was formally agreed upon that the Clergy would undergo a time of preparation and ordination under the direct and immediate archpastoral care of the Patriarch until such a time as when the Lord will raise up the Church's first bishops for the Church of Haiti.
