  1. Ukrainian Catholic Bishops Meet (Mar. 10, 2022)

The bishops of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada (UOCC) and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) have met on occasion to address common matters of concern within the Ukrainian community. Both of these churches are full members of the Canadian Council of Churches.

Established in Saskatoon in 1918, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada has been a metropolis of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople since 1990. The UOCC consists of three eparchies with cathedrals in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Edmonton. The bishop of the Eastern eparchy, Metropolitan Yurij (Kalistchuk) is the primate of the UOCC.

The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church consists of five eparchies in Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and New Westminster. The eparch of Winnipeg, Metropolitan Lawrence Huculak, is metropolitan for the Canadian church. The eparchies of Toronto and New Westminster are currently vacant and are administered by the eparchs of Saskatoon and Edmonton. The UGCC bishops are part of the synod of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Kyiv, Ukraine together with other bishops in the Ukrainian Catholic diaspora. They are also members of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB). The Ukrainian Catholic Church is the largest of the 23 Eastern Catholic sui juris churches in communion with Rome.
