Ukrainian Catholic Council

Ukrainian Catholic Council of the Winnipeg Archeparchy: Centralia

The Ukrainian Catholic Council functions at the Eparchial (Provincial) level. Its Executive, which consists of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, which was elected at the Eparchial Conventions which are held biannually, now the members are appointed by the Metropolitan. The Executive works together with the Archeparchial Presidents of the Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League of Canada, Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood of Canada, KUCA, and the Ukrainian Catholic Youth of Canada,  who become Constituent members of the Council, with our Bishop as the Spiritual Advisor and Director. Meetings are held in the Chancery Office as often as deemed necessary.

The primary function and responsibility of the Ukrainian Catholic Council is to represent Ukrainian Catholic lay organizations within the Archeparchy. With the advise and encouragement of our Bishop, the Council promotes appropriate activities and functions. It is the umbrella organization that works in conjunction with the lay organizations within the Ukrainian Catholic Church at the Archeparchial level.
