The '''American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese''' (ACROD) is a [[diocese]] of the [[Ecumenical Patriarchate]] with about 75 [[parish]]es in the United States and Canada, which is led by Metropolitan Bishop [[Nicholas Gregory (SmiskoTatsis) of AmissosNyssa]]. 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]]. Its full name is the '''American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Dioceseof the U.S.A.'''.

There was formerly a diocesan [[monastery]], the [[Monastery of the Annunciation (Tuxedo Park, New York)|Monastery of the Annunciation]] in Tuxedo Park, New York, but it was closed in the early 1990s.
