Bishop Arkadiusz Trochanowski (Ukrainian: Аркадій Трохановський; born 6 January 1973) is a Polish Ukrainian Greek Catholic hierarch as the first eparchial bishop of the newly created Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Olsztyn–Gdańsk since 25 November 2020.
Trochanowski was born into the Greek-Catholic family of Jan and Olga Trochanowski in the Lubusz Voivodeship. His parents were forcibly resettled with other Ukrainians in Poland, from ethnic Ukrainian territories to the Recovered Territories in western Poland during Operation Vistula in 1947.[1] After graduation of the school education in his native Szprotawa, he attended the Major Theological Seminary in Lublin, simultaneously studying in the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (1994–2000). He studied at the Pontifical Faculty of Theology at the University of Wrocław and in 2012 he received a Doctor of Theology degree in ecumenism from the Faculty of Theology of the University of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań.[1]
