The American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of North America (ACROD) is a diocese of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in the United States and Canada founded by converts from the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church following the priest and inaugural Metropolitan Orestes Chornock. Though the diocese is directly responsible to the Patriarchate, it is under the spiritual supervision of the Primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. As of 2020, there are 77 parishes with 7,156 adherents, of which 3,621 regularly attend in the United States, but the diocese does not have monasteries. The diocese was led by Metropolitan Nicholas (Smisko) of Amissos (1936–2011). The current leader is the titular Metropolitan of Nyssa, Gregory (Tatsis), who was consecrated on November 27, 2012.
