The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton is a Ukrainian Catholic diocese that governs parishes in the Canadian province of Alberta. It uses the Byzantine Rite in Ukrainian language. Its cathedral episcopal see is St. Josaphat’s Cathedral in Edmonton, Alberta. == History == On 19 January 1948, it was established as Ukrainian Catholic Apostolic Exarchate of Western Canada (an Eastern Catholic missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction, akin to a Latin Apostlic Prefecture), on territory split off from the then Ukrainian Catholic Apostolic Exarchate of Canada. On 10 March 1951, it was renamed as Ukrainian Catholic Apostolic Exarchate of Edmonton, after its see. On 3 November 1956, promoted as Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy (Eastern Catholic diocese) of Edmonton. It thus lost its exempt status, becoming a suffragan in the ecclesiastical province of the Metropolitan Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Winnipeg. On 27 June 1974, it lost territory to establish the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of New Westminster. On January 26, 2007 Pope Benedict XVI appointed former Auxiliary Bishop David Motiuk of the Archeparchy of Winnipeg as head of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
