About the Brotherhood
A community rooted in faith and service
Founded in 1932, the Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood of Canada unites men and women devoted to the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Eastern Rite. Rooted in the parish, our branches support the clergy, nurture liturgical life, and carry the rich heritage of our people to the next generation.
For more than nine decades the Brotherhood has served as a bridge between faith and civic life — joining Catholic devotion with Canadian civic duty in works of charity, education, and the preservation of culture.
