==GenesisOrigin==Most of the ethnic Ukrainians moving to Canada in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were from Western Ukraine (predominantly from two provinces: Halychyna (aka Galicia) & Bukovyna). The settlers from Halychyna were predominatly [[Eastern Rite Catholic|Greek Catholic]]s, and were tended early on by the local [[Roman Catholic]] [[hierarch]]y due to the fact that the Vatican wanted to assimilate the Greek Catholic's Catholics into the main streammainstream. As the Halychany were coming to Canada , a smaller group of settlers were arriving from Bukovyna (who were predominatly Orthodox). These Orthodox were initially served by the [[Orthodox Church in America|Russian Orthodox Mission]] (who were part of the [[Church of Russia]]). The Russian Orthodox Mission was by then established in the northwest of North America through Alaska, and it served all the needs of the Orthodox in that area. It is also noteworthy that many native Ukrainian priests served in the Mission.

Both groups of Ukrainian's Ukrainians desired to have a church that was truly "Ukrainian Orthodox," and a church that met their spiritual and cultural needs. This led to the creation of the ''Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada (UGOCC)'' in July 1918, in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This convention established not only the church, but a brotherhood to protect the church. The brotherhood (which had former Greek Catholics) condemned the [[Union of Brest-Litovsk]], which had created the Greek Catholics in Ukraine.
