  • Pioneer Bishop, Pioneer Times: Nykyta Budka in Canada
    CCHA, Historical Studies, 55 (1988), 21-41 Pioneer Bishop, Pioneer Times: Nykyta Budka in Canada by Stella HRYNIUK St. John’s College University of Manitoba In 1912 the Vatican created a separate ecclesiastical province for the Ukrainian Catholics of Canada. Reverend Nykyta Budka, Prefect of the Theological Seminary of Lviv, Galicia, was appointed to head this new diocese, with a mission to serve the approximately 128,000 Ukrainian settlers scattered from Cape Breton to Vancouver Island. For the most part, these recent immigrants were found in rural settlements on the prairies. Their religious experiences have been superficially studied, and the problems encountered by their first bishop have been given scant attention. This article is an overview of the episcopate of Bishop Budka, the first Ukrainian Catholic bishop in Canada.1 In the last decade of the nineteenth century, significant numbers of Ukrainian immigrants, attracted to Canada by the prospect of cheap land, began to settle in the Prairies. The Ukrainians are a Slavic people, whose homeland at the time of the migration to Canada was divided between Austria-Hungary and Russia. Those who settled in Canada came chiefly from the Austrian province of Galicia,2 where they had been small landholders and/or agricultural labourers. They were Ukrainian Catholic by religion, meaning that in accordance with the historic Union of Brest (1596) they preserved the Eastern rite, including Church Slavonic as the language of worship, while submitting to the authority of the Pope and accepting

His efforts helped encourage the initial wave of settlers which began the Ukrainian Canadian community. Ukraine Early immigration The journey Canada Immigration to Canada begins Later life Bust of Joseph Oleskiw at the Ukrainian Legacy Cultural Heritage Village in Alberta, Canada See also References Bibliography External links Joseph Oleskiw was born in the village of Nova Skvariava (Nowa Skwarzawa), near Zhovkva, in the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia (now western Ukraine.) His father, a Greek (Eastern) Catholic parish priest, was a member of the rural élite. Oleskiw studied geography and agriculture at the University of Lemberg (Lviv, Ukraine). He was appointed professor of agronomy at the teacher’s college in Lemberg.[2] Ukrainian immigrants who had traveled to Brazil and Argentina, enticed by the free transportation they had received, sent back word that conditions there were worse than in their homeland. After hearing of the struggles of Ukrainian immigrants in Joseph Oleskiw (1860–1903) Brazil, Oleskiw investigated alternative choices. He determined that the Canadian prairies were the most suitable for the Ukrainian farmers. This led to Oleskiw writing two pamphlets in Ukrainian – "On Free Lands" (Pro Vilni Zemli,[1][3] spring 1895), and "On Emigration" (O https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Oleskiw 1 of 4 2/5/2018, 4:45 PM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Oleskiw 2 2/5/2018, 4:45 PM emigratsiy,[4] December 1895) – and one in Polish.

It reveals basic types of location of the monasteries in relation to the defensive perimeter within the town area. The article analyzes the peculiarities of the placement of buildings in the structure of town quarters, the regularity of the development of monas- tery territories. It reveals monastery complexes surrounded by their own walls and mon- asteries, which were defended due to town fortifications. Key words: monastery complex defensive buildings, order, natural defence, location, defensive perimeter, within the town area.

  • Lamont County
    Church Capital of North America LAMONT COUNTY The strange new world did not deter them To build a church they could ill afford Their way of life was not complete Without an edifice to the Lord. Welcome to LAMONT COUNTY’S SELF-GUIDED CHURCH TOURS Lamont County has 47 churches— more per capita than anywhere else in North America. Lamont County has a proud legacy as the birthplace of the oldest and largest agricultural settlement of Ukrainians in Canada. The nucleus of the pioneer Ukrainian colony was in the vicinity of Star, some seven miles (11.6 km) north- east of the modern-day town of Lamont. There, in 1894, four immigrant families filed for adjacent homesteads at what became the centre of a thriving bloc settlement that eventually encompassed the region that now comprises the Kalyna Country Ecomuseum. Not surprisingly, the historic Star district was also the site where organized Christian life first took root among the Ukrainians of Alberta, about the same time that the sod huts originally put up as temporary shelters by the pioneers began to be replaced by modest, thatched-roofed houses. As more and more newcomers from Europe made East Central Alberta their home, Lamont County experienced a remarkable church-building boom expressive of the deep Christian faith brought over from the Old World by the set- tlers. This rich spiritual heritage is still very much in evi- dence today, in the numerous churches that can be found in the towns and villages and on country roads in virtually every part of the municipality.
