'''Victoria, BC, Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Saint George, 1957'''

==Founding the parish, 1957==

The [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ukrainian_Orthodox_Church_of_Canada Ukrainian Orthodox Christians] living in the City of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria,_British_Columbia Victoria], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia British Columbia], [https://www.britannica.com/place/Canada Canada], and the surrounding area (at the south end of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_Island Vancouver Island]) wanted a spiritual home, and an active connection with [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ukrainian_Orthodox_Church_of_Canada their Faith].

On 1 December, 1957, the parish of [https://orthodoxwiki.org/George_the_Trophy-bearer Saint George] was formed by 9 families living in the Victoria area.

The first [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy Divine Liturgy] was celebrated on 9 February, 1958, in a chapel of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_Church_Cathedral_(Victoria,_British_Columbia) Christ Church Anglican Cathedral]. Father A Kostiuk travelled from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrey,_British_Columbia Surrey], British Columbia, to lead this service.

==First Temple, 1960==

In April, 1960, the parish purchased the property located at 1842, Oak Bay Avenue (now an apartment block). This building was used continuously as the spiritual home for the parish of Saint George until a fire in September, 1973. For the next 4 years after this, the parish held services at [https://www.stnicholasparish.org/ Saint Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church], until a new site was found and acquired.

==Next Temple, 1978==

On 7 January, 1978, [https://simcoereformer.remembering.ca/obituary/michael-sokyrka-1073359296 Father Michael Sokyrka] served the first [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Divine_Liturgy Divine Liturgy] at the present location (at 1100, Colville Road) in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esquimalt Esquimalt]. Esquimalt is situated immediately to the west of the City of Victoria, and it is "home" to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_Forces_Pacific Canadian Navy Pacific Fleet].

Since that time, [https://www.uocc.ca/parish/st-george-parish/ Saint George Ukrainian Orthodox Church] has continued to serve the spiritual needs of its faithful. Trusting in God’s continuing presence and blessing on this community, the parishioners have been looking forward with hope, confidence and determination.

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

In 1990, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Orthodox_Church_of_Canada 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.

==More parish activity==

During the ensuing years, many important changes occurred. One of these was the appointment of the first resident pastor in 1991, who was the [https://passages.winnipegfreepress.com/passage-details/id-87969/HUDYMA_MITRED Priest Orest Hudyma].

The enthusiasm which this engendered continued throughout the pastorate of his successor, the Priest Roman Szewczyk in 1994.

==75th anniversary of the UOCC, 1993==

In 1993, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada celebrated the 75th anniversary of its foundation.

In addition, the [http://infoukes.com/uwac/ Ukrainian Women's Association of Canada] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olha_Kobylianska Olha Kobylianska] branch) marked its 60th anniversary.

'''Priest Peter Haugen, 2009'''

In September, 2009, the [http://uocc.ca/en-ca/parishes/clergydetails.asp?ClergyID=131 Priest Peter Haugen] and Dobrodijka Erin arrived to continue to provide spiritual leadership for the Orthodox faithful of Vancouver Island, in conjunction with this community’s sister parish, [[Parksville BC Saint Mary Protectress Ukrainian Orthodox Church 1954 |Saint Mary Protectress]], in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parksville,_British_Columbia Parksville], British Columbia.

From the time of his arrival, [http://uocc.ca/en-ca/parishes/clergydetails.asp?ClergyID=1006 Priest Chad Pawlyshyn] lived in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanaimo Nanaimo], and he divided his time between the 2 major communities on Vancouver Island (as well as caring for the smaller groups).

==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 Metropolitan Ilarion (Rudnyk), 2022==

'''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].

==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)]).
