The Greek Byzantine Catholic Church ( el, Ελληνική Βυζαντινή Καθολική Εκκλησία, ''Ellinikí Vizantiní Katholikí Ekklisía;'') or the Greek Catholic Church is a ''sui iuris'' Eastern Catholic particular church of the Catholic Church that uses the Byzantine liturgical rite in Koine Greek and Modern Greek.

Subsequently, many individual Greeks, then under Ottoman rule, embraced communion with Rome. They typically followed the Roman Rite of the Latin Church, maintaining their parishes through contact and support mostly from the Venetians. However, it was not until the 1880s that a particular church specifically for Greek Catholics who followed the Byzantine rite was built ...
