Ukrainian Catholic

Eparchy of Saskatoon

Who are we?

The Ukrainian Catholic Church originates in Ukraine and is centered in the ancient city of Kyiv.

Over 130 years ago it arrived in Saskatchewan with the first Ukrainian Settlers. Over that time our churches have grown to include people from all backgrounds.

Our style of worship is inherited from the Greek traditions of Ukraine and we acknowledge the Pope in Rome as the visible head of the Universal Catholic Church.

We love being Ukrainian Catholic. We love the Gospel and our ancestral traditions. We have a treasure to share. Come experience them in one of our many parishes.
