For the first time ever, the annual meeting of the Ukrainian Catholic Synod of Bishops will take place in
Canada. It will meet in
Portage la Prairie, which is in the
Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Winnipeg, from 9 to 16 September 2012. The Ukrainian Catholic Bishops of Canada invited the Synod to hold its annual meeting in
Canada to mark the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first Ukrainian Catholic Bishop in
Canada, Blessed Bishop Nykyta Budka. Around 35 to 40 Ukrainian Catholic Bishops will participate, including His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk, Major Archbishop of Kiev-Halych (
Ukraine) who is the primate of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. During his visit to
Canada, Archbishop Shevchuk will be received by the
Plenary Assembly of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) which he will address. He is also making pastoral visits in each of the five Ukrainian Catholic Eparchies across
Canada.
