'''Winnipeg, Manitoba, Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral, 1946'''


==Prehistory==

The history in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg Winnipeg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitoba Manitoba], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Canada Canada], of the [http://uocc.ca/en-ca/about/history/ Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada] (now the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ukrainian_Orthodox_Church_of_Canada Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada]) developed in the midst of various difficulties and confusions, many of them being external events and situations.  

Although the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church (UGOCC) had been established in 1918-1919 in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon Saskatoon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatchewan Saskatchewan], it was 1923 before the first Ukrainian Greek Orthodox parish was established in Winnipeg.  This was [[Winnipeg MB Saint Mary the Protectress Ukrainian Orthodox Sobor 1923 |Saint Mary the Protectress Sobor]] at Burrows Avenue and Sinclair Street.  [http://uocc.ca/en-ca/parishes/parishdetails.asp?ParishID=171 Saint Michael’s (Bukovynian) Ukrainian Orthodox Church] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Point_Douglas Point Douglas] had been established earlier, in 1918, but that community did not enter the UGOCC until later.  [http://uocc.ca/en-ca/parishes/parishdetails.asp?ParishID=168 Saint Ivan Suchavsky Sobor] at 939, Main Street, was established in 1931, and it belonged to a different [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ukrainian_Orthodox_Church_in_the_USA Ukrainian Orthodox jurisdiction (headquartered in the USA]).

==Formation of the parish, 1946==

The Holy Trinity Parish was organised in March, 1946.  The Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada was seriously concerned about a need for a central [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral archiepiscopal cathedral] (as a result of the separate status at that time of the [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Winnipeg_MB_Saint_Mary_the_Protectress_Ukrainian_Orthodox_Sobor_1923 Saint Mary the Protectress parish]), and the newly organised parish offered to serve as a cathedral parish.   

The Ninth General Council (Sobor) of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church in Canada, which met in July, 1946, accepted the offer of the parish, and it ruled that the parish would be charged with the responsibilities of building a suitable Cathedral Temple.  

It was this 1946 sobor which elected [[Patriarch Mstyslav (Skrypnyk) |Bishop Mstyslav (Skrypnyk)]] to succeed [[Archbishop John (Theodorovych) |Archbishop John (Theodorovych)]], and to become the first resident head of the UGOCC as the Archbishop of Winnipeg.  He arrived from [https://www.britannica.com/place/Germany Germany], and he began to serve.  However, he remained only for 2 years because of differences with the UGOCC administration.  He later departed for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City New York], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States USA].    

He was followed temporarily by [[Metropolitan Polikarp (Sikorski)]] of the [https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CU%5CK%5CUkrainianAutocephalousOrthodoxchurch.htm Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox church] (UAOC) in [https://www.britannica.com/place/Europe Europe].  

In 1947, [[Metropolitan Ilarion (Ohienko) |Archbishop Ilarion (Ohienko)]] arrived in Winnipeg from [https://www.britannica.com/place/Poland Poland].  

The present site of the metropolitan cathedral was purchased in May, 1946.  Architectural designs for the proposed cathedral were sought.  On 26 May, 1948, the Selection Committee recommended a sketch entitled “Kiev” which was submitted by [https://legacy.winnipeg.ca/ppd/Documents/Heritage/HeritageResourcesReports/Main-1175-long.pdf George Korbin and Alexander Powstenko].  This “Kiev” sketch served as a model from which the present cathedral building was developed. Building procedure guidance was given by Mr. Alexander Lasko, a Toronto, Ontario architect.  The firm of [https://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/pratt_rb.shtml Pratt and Ross] of Winnipeg was engaged as architects, and on the basis of the “Kiev” sketch, drew up plans and specifications for the building of the auditorium portion of the cathedral as the first phase of the building programme. 

'''Metropolitan Ilarion I (Ohienko), 1951'''

In 1951, [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Metropolitan_Ilarion_I_(Ohienko) Vladyka Ilarion I (Ohienko)] was elected and installed as the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Bishop#Archbishops_and_Metropolitans Metropolitan] and [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Primate Primate] of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada.  From the outset, he began to improve the good order of the UGOCC, both spiritually and practically.

==Construction of the lower auditorium, 1949-1952==

The auditorium portion of the project was constructed by [https://legacy.winnipeg.ca/ppd/Documents/Heritage/HeritageResourcesReports/Main-1175-long.pdf  Wallace and Aikens] of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The building was started late in 1949, and it was completed in 1952.   This auditorium served both as a Temple and as a cultural centre. 

==Construction of the upper Temple, 1957-1962==

Preparations for the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATS9m4xb2fU completion of the Cathedral Temple] itself were initiated in 1957.  [https://winnipegarchitecture.ca/alexander-nitchuk/ Mr. Alex Nitchuk] was engaged as the architect.  The building committee and the architect were guided by the experiences of other parishes in Canada who had recently done ecclesiastical construction, and by some valuable recommendations which were offered by [https://yuriigeorgekodak.com/bukovinian/ Mr. George Kodak] who had distinguished himself as an architect and designer of Ukrainian Churches in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Canada Eastern Canada].  The building contract was awarded to [https://winnipegarchitecture.ca/1405-portage-avenue/ Semmler Construction Company] of which the late [https://www.htuomc.org/files/History/Full_History_Cathedral.pdf/ Mr. Matt Solonyka] (a member of the cathedral parish) was a partner.

==Sanctification of the Temple, 1962==

The completed auditorium and Temple were dedicated and [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Consecration_of_a_church sanctified] on the Sunday of the [https://oca.org/saints/lives/2017/06/04/45-holy-pentecost Feast of Pentecost], 8 June, 1962, by Metropolitan Ilarion (Ohienko), the spiritual head of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada.  

The first Divine Service within the newly-built and nearly-completed Cathedral Temple was celebrated on 6 January, 1962, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar Old Calendar] Eve of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Nativity Nativity of Christ], by the parish priest, [https://umlarchives.lib.umanitoba.ca/downloads/rev-michael-yurkiwsky-fonds.pdf Archpriest Michael Yurkiwsky].  

The first Hierarchical [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy Divine Liturgy] was celebrated by [[Metropolitan Ilarion (Ohienko)]] on the Feast-day of the Nativity of Christ, 7 January, 1962.

==Re-naming of the UGOCC, 1990==

In 1990, the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada was officially renamed “[https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ukrainian_Orthodox_Church_of_Canada The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada]” (UOCC) by an Act of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_Canada Parliament of Canada].  

'''The UOCC entered into Eucharistic union with the Patriarchate of Constantinople, 1990'''

In 1990, the 18th Sobor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada in [https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/winnipeg Winnipeg], [https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/manitoba Manitoba], decided to enter into Eucharistic Union with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenical_Patriarch_of_Constantinople Ecumenical Patriarchate] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantinople Constantinople] (Istanbul).  This decision also changed the relationship with the other Orthodox dioceses and parishes in Canada in a positive way.

'''Centennial of the first Ukrainian immigration to Canada, 1990'''

Also in 1990, the [http://www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/1991/529109.shtml centennial of Ukrainian settlers in Canada] was marked.

It was soon afterwards, in 1997, that [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Winnipeg_MB_Saint_John_Suchavsky_Ukrainian_Orthodox_Sobor_1931 Saint Ivan Suchavsky’s Sobor] entered the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada (UOCC).

==Visit of Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople, 1998==

On 27-28 May, 1998, [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Patriarch_Bartholomew_(Archontonis) Patriarch Bartholomew I (Archontonis)] visited Winnipeg, in part to mark the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada.  There was a special ceremony at [http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/sites/winnipegcityhall.shtml City Hall], where the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Patriarch patriarch] was honoured.  On the afternoon of the first day, there was a special convocation at [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Winnipeg_MB_Saint_Andrew%E2%80%99s_College_1932 Saint Andrew's College] at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Manitoba University of Manitoba].  The patriarch was given an honourary [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Divinity Doctor of Divinity] degree, "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorary_degree honoris causa]".  The patriarch also served at the [https://stdemetrioschurch.ca/ Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church] before attending the evening banquet.  On the next day, the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ascension Feast of the Ascension of Christ], the patriarch presided at a Hierarchical [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy Divine Liturgy] at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Trinity_Ukrainian_Orthodox_Metropolitan_Cathedral Holy Trinity Metropolitan Cathedral].  Afterwards, there was a special luncheon with various speeches before the departure of Patriarch Bartholomew to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Canada eastern Canada].  

==Fire ; repairs ; re-sanctification, 2016-2017==

On the evening of 14 July, 2016, there was a [https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/life/faith/2017/08/12/ukrainian-cathedral-restored-ready-after-2016-arson 3-alarm fire at Holy Trinity Cathedral].  It was deliberately set by an arsonist or arsonists who broke into the building at night.  More than 100 firefighters put out the fire.  

The damage was substantial (much of the damage was from smoke and water), and repairs cost more than $1,000,000.00.  Repairs and [https://www.htuomc.org/cathedralrestoration.html restoration] took many months in order to accomplish enough to allow for public worship again.  During the interim, the parish met at first for worship at the [http://cropo.com/ Cropo Funeral Chapel] nearby.  By 7 January, 2017, it was possible to offer services again in the [http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/holy-trinity-church-fire-1.3905760 basement auditorium].  The total time required in this auditorium was 7 months.

'''Re-sanctification, 2017'''

A re-[https://orthodoxwiki.org/Consecration_of_a_church sanctification] service was celebrated on 2 July, 2017.  This service blessed and sanctified the Temple for use again.  Although the cathedral was not completely restored, worship was possible within the Temple.

==2020-2021 Coronavirus-19 virus restrictions on parishes==

In early 2020, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19 Covid-19 virus] made its appearance in Canada, and it quickly became a world-wide [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemic pandemic].  Because of the rules governing gatherings that were laid down by the provincial and city governments, the parish stopped any further services after 8 March, 2020. Including the rules regarding social distancing, the decreasing numbers permitted for any gathering, and the considerations regarding the health of all concerned, this and other parishes were required to close for a time.  

As elsewhere, there was some controversy about the legal requirements.

'''Election of a nominee by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada'''

On 15-19 June, 2022, the 24th Sobor of the Ukrainian Orthodox of Canada was convened "[https://www.dictionary.com/browse/online on-line]".  This conference-meeting was convened thus instead of convening physically (as customarily) in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg Winnipeg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitoba Manitoba].  There were 6 cathedrals in Canada where this meeting took place simultaneously through a computer-network :  in Winnipeg, Manitoba ([https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Winnipeg_MB_Holy_Trinity_Ukrainian_Orthodox_Metropolitan_Cathedral_1946 Holy Trinity Metropolitan Cathedral]) ; Vancouver, British Columbia ([https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Vancouver_BC_Holy_Trinity_Ukrainian_Orthodox_Cathedral_1937 Holy Trinity Cathedral]) ; in Edmonton, Alberta ([http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Edmonton_AB_Saint_John_Ukrainian_Orthodox_Cathedral_1923 Saint John's Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral]) ; in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan ([https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Saskatoon_SK_Holy_Trinity_Ukrainian_Orthodox_Cathedral_1918 Holy Trinity Cathedral]) ; in Toronto, Ontario ([https://www.stsvladimirandolgacathedral.ca/ Saints Vladimir and Olga Cathedral]) ;  in Montréal, Québec ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Sophie_Ukrainian_Orthodox_Cathedral Saint Sophie Cathedral]).  

There was a total of 205 delegates, which was near the average attendance for such sobors.  

In the course of the work of the Sobor, there was the necessary election in order to nominate to the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Holy_Synod Holy Synod] of the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Church_of_Constantinople Church of Constantinople] a candidate for election as Archbishop of Winnipeg and Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada, who would succeed the Retired [http://orthodoxcanada.ca/Metropolitan_Yurij_(Kalistchuk) Metropolitan Yurij (Kalistchuk)].

The final choice of the members of the sobor was Archbishop Job (Getcha).  He had received more than the minimum required 51% of the votes, and there was no subsequent voting required.  

The election by the Sobor (Assembly) of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada then had to be confirmed by the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Holy_Synod_of_Constantinople Holy Synod of Bishops of Constantinople] (as is described in the [https://uocc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/UOCC-Bylaws.Amended.July-15.2010.pdf Consistory By-laws]).

==Change of calendar for the UOCC, 2023==

On 1 December, 2023, in accordance with the resolutions of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada, [https://www.uocc.ca/primatial-encyclical-annoucement-of-the-adoption-of-the-revised-julian-calendar-by-the-ukrainian-orthodox-church-of-canada/ Metropolitan Ilarion II (Rudnyk) announced] that, effective that day, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada moved to use the [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Revised_Julian_Calendar New (Revised Julian) Calendar].   He allowed that for a brief period of time, a parish might remain on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar Old (Julian) Calendar].  

It seems that subsequently, [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Edmonton_AB_Saint_John_Saint John's Cathedral] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonton Edmonton], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta Alberta], was the first to adopt the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Julian_calendar New (Revised Julian) Calendar].  

However, a previously-existing group of persons began to encourage resistance to the immediacy of this change.  It was their understanding that the process would be determined ultimately and finally at the next [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sobor general sobor of the UOCC].  Therefore, on 16 December, 2023, Metropolitan Ilarion [https://www.uocc.ca/communique-from-the-office-of-the-metropolitan/ issued a formal letter] concerning the situation, together with a letter of support sent to him by his predecessor (Retired [https://orthodoxcanada.ca/Metropolitan_Yurij_(Kalistchuk) Metropolitan Yurij (Kalistchuk)]).
