One Parish, Two Temples
When the first group of Ukrainian immigrants arrived in Toronto, a movement began to establish a Ukrainian Orthodox congregation and on October 31, 1926, the foundation for the parish was laid. In 1935, the congregation bought the site at 400 Bathurst St. on which to build the church and also acquired the large building at 404 Bathurst to be used until the church was completed.
St. Volodymyr Cathedral
In November of 1948, the new church was officially opened as St. Vladimir’s Church. Within three years, it was chosen as the seat for the ruling Archbishop of Toronto and Eastern Canada, and elevated to the rank of a Cathedral. In 1988, as part of the celebration of the Millennium of Christianity in Ukraine, the cathedral was renamed St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral. Today, it is referred to as St. Volodymyr Cathedral of Toronto.
All Saints of Ukraine Chapel
Built in 2011 by the parishioners of the St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Toronto, the chapel now serves many parishioners in the Mississauga, Burlington, Oakville and Milton communities.
The Chapel (Каплиця Всіх Святих Землі Української) is located in the St. Volodymyr Cultural Centre in Oakville, Ontario.
