Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Winnipeg - History

History

Nestor Dmytriw was the first Ukrainian Catholic priest in Canada, having started parishes in 1897 and 1898 in Terebowla, Manitoba, Stuartburn, Manitoba and Edna, Alberta. He advocated a separate Ukrainian Catholic church in Canada, but this idea was opposed by the existing Canadian Catholic hierarchy. His vision came to fruition in 1912 when Nykyta Budka was appointed the bishop for Ukrainians in Canada. This appointment was done in response to the success of pretend Bishop Seraphim (Stefan Ustvolsky) in organizing Ukrainians interested in the liturgical traditions of their heritage.

    We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.
