Our Beliefs
Ukrainian Catholicism is steeped in rich traditions, values, and practices that date back to the 10th century. Though it shares similarities with the Roman Catholic Church, there are several differences that distinguish it.
Who Are We?
The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton serves some 25,000 faithful in 81 parishes and missions throughout Alberta, from Lethbridge in the south, to Manning in the north, and Lloydminster in the east. We provide spiritual, catechetical, counselling, and sacramental care for families and individuals, as well as outreach programs for the needy and marginalized.
Our Social Mission
For those new to Ukrainian Catholicism, it is essential to understand that the church’s social mission is a cornerstone of its beliefs and practices. The Ukrainian Catholic Church strives to create a world that is guided by peace, justice, and solidarity.
Join the Mission
It is only beginning. As a new member of the Catholic Church, you will need to grow in your faith by regular attendance at your parish, hearing the Word of God proclaimed and receiving the Eucharist each Sunday, through regular prayer, and by giving testimony to your newfound faith by serving others, in particular, the poor and the needy.
