TheSerbian Orthodox Eparchy of Buenos Aires, South America, and Central America (Serbian:Српска православна епархија буеносајреска и јужноцентралноамеричка,Spanish:Diócesis de Buenos Aires, Sudamérica y Centroamérica Patriarcado Ortodoxo Serbio) is aSerbian Orthodox Church eparchy (diocese) with the main headquarters located in the city ofBuenos Aires, Argentina. The diocese has 20 churches inArgentina, 16 inBrazil, two inChile, one inDominican Republic, three inVenezuela, three inEcuador, two inEl Salvador, five inColombia, four inPeru, two inBolivia, two inGuatemala, four inNicaragua, three inCosta Rica, and one inPanama. On October 13, 2012, the first session of the diocese under the rule of the actual administration ofMetropolitan bishop Amfilohije Radović.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] The decision of the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church, brought in May 2018, electedKirilo Bojović the first Serbian Bishop of Buenos Aires and South-Central America. He was enthroned in the Cathedral church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 4 September 2018.^[5]

For members ofSerbian andMontenegrin diaspora inArgentina,Orthodox Christian religion acts as a very significant ethnic symbol. Therefore, as the most important element of social and cultural life the emigrants emphasized existence of Serbian Orthodox Church, since the need for group "survival" (according to the research^[6]), throughout history and today, manifested itself through organizing and gathering mostly in the Serbian Orthodox Church and then in homeland's clubs.^[7]
