  • A History of the UOCC
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF CANADA UOCC Cathedral pictureThe seed of the Orthodox Faith was sowed on the Canadian land, not by missionaries, but by simple peasants, who came from Ukraine and established themselves on the Canadian prairies. It is indeed on this simple, but at the same time deep, faith of the Ukrainian peasants-pioneers that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada was established. Most of the first Ukrainian settlers came to Canada from Halychyna (where they were Greek Catholics) and from Bukovyna (where they belonged to the Orthodox Church). The Halychany, settling in Canada, where visited once in awhile by Greek-Catholic priests, but the Vatican wished to attached them to the Roman-Catholic Church already in existence, which would have assimilated them. The Bukovynians arriving in North America usually incorporated themselves into the Russian Orthodox Mission, which was already in existence. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian immigrants desired to have a Church with a Ukrainian character, which would be closer to the spiritual and cultural needs of the Ukrainian people, and this led to the formation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. In July 1918 a confidential conference of disenchanted lay Catholics from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta created a Ukrainian Orthodox Brotherhood — its goal — to organize the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada. Although the Ukrainian settlers who took part in the organization of this Church body were not theologians, they were conscious of the canon law that a Church body cannot exist without a bishop. Thus, the brotherhood contacted Archbishop Alexander, an ethnic Ukrainian in the Russian Orthodox Mission in North America, who initially accepted to become the temporary bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada (U.G.O.C.C.) and to preside at its first Sobor, but later refused.

    National CYMK-UOY Spring 2021 Newsletter Greetings to all of our CYMKivtsi, families, and Ukrainian Orthodox Community members! As we have now reached the one-year mark of the impacts of COVID- 19 on our world, we are proud of the work our CYMKivtsi have put in to stay active within their locals and our organization as a whole, during these challenging and uncertain times! Our National CYMK Executive has been busy over the past months working to incorporate our 4 Pillars of: Faith, Culture, Leadership, and Fellowship into the lives of our Ukrainian Orthodox Youth. These have been very tough times for all, amidst the global pandemic, but like many others we have turned to technology to continue to keep connected. Monthly Online Youth Discussion Sessions We have been hosting monthly online youth discussion sessions led by various clergy members from across Canada! We are very thankful for the support we have received from clergy in helping us lead these sessions, and the support we continue to have for upcoming discussions. We have addressed and discussed a number of wonderful topics including "Orthodoxy and Modern Science," "Social Media and Technology," "Holiday Traditions," "Differences Among Religions," and "Spiritual and Mental Health." These sessions have allowed our youth to participate in discussions with topics relevant to their every-day lives, and to share a better understanding of the church's stance and position regarding a number of common questions. Our next session will be held on Thursday March 25, 2021 being lead by Fr. Chad Pawlyshyn on the topic of "Keeping Youth/Young Adults Involved in the Church!" We look forward to this upcoming session, and hope you will all be able to join in! The links for the online discussions are shared via Facebook and Instagram prior to each session, and through email to our registered CYMK members.
