Antin Anhelovych

Anthony Anhelovych (Angelovich, Ukrainian: Антін Ангелович, Polish: Antoni Angełłowicz; 14 April 1756 – 9 August 1814) was the first Metropolitan Archbishop of the re-built Metropolitan of Lviv from 1808 until his death in 1814.

Antin Anhelovych was born on 14 April 1756 in Hryniv, near Bibrka, now in Ukraine.

In 1795 he was appointed eparch of Eparchy of Przemyśl and so consecrated a bishop on 14 February 1796.

In its place, Emperor Francis I of Austria decided to re-establish a Galician metropolis in the western part of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria on 11 September 1806.

Pope Pius VII approved this split on 24 February 1807 elevating the Eparchy of Lviv to the rank of Metropolis and granting it the same rights of the Metropolis of Kyiv.
