Ordinariate For Armenian Catholics Of Romania
The Ordinariate for Armenian Catholics of Romania ( ro, Ordinariatul Armeano-Catolic), based in Gherla, is an ordinariate for Eastern Catholic faithful that is part of the Armenian Catholic Church, itself under the authority of the Pope. It serves Catholic members of Romania's Armenian community living in Transylvania.

A key role in this process was played by the missionary Oxendius Vărzărescu, who was named bishop in 1690 by Pope Alexander VIII and served until his death in 1715. Subsequently, leadership of the community fell to the Latin Church Bishop of Transylvania.
