The Ukrainian community in Canada has had a profound influence on Canadian Catholicism, especially through the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, one of the largest Eastern Rite Catholic communities in Canada. Ukrainian immigrants, particularly those who arrived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brought with them their rich traditions, including the Byzantine Rite liturgy, iconography, and devotion to saints like St. Nicholas. They established Ukrainian Catholic parishes across Canada, especially in Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario. Today, the Ukrainian Catholic community continues to thrive, celebrating cultural and religious festivals, such as Easter and Christmas, while contributing to the broader Catholic Church in Canada.
