The Ukrainian Orthodox Eparchy of Central Canada is an eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada, under the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. The Central Eparchy is currently led by Metropolitan Ilarion (Rudnyk).[1]
The Central Eparchy consists of the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and has about 60 churches (most of them country churches), and two cathedral churches (Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.)
History
[edit]The early history of the Eparchy largely parallels that of the UOCC, which was founded on the territory of the diocese in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Since the reorganization of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada (what later became the UOCC) as a metropolia in 1951 the Central Eparchy has served as the diocese of the 'first hierarch' or primate of the UOCC. Auxiliary or assistant bishops to the Metropolitan of the UOCC are consecrated with the title "of Saskatoon" to honor the city's role in the founding of the Church.
