Ukrainian Catholic Pastoral Centre
The Ukrainian Catholic Pastoral Centre supports the Bishop, clergy, parishes, ministries, and faithful of the Edmonton Eparchy.
From this centre, the Eparchy coordinates the pastoral, administrative, financial, communications, ministry, and service work that helps parish life continue across Alberta.
What the Pastoral Centre Does
Supporting Parish Life Across Alberta
Parishes are the heart of the Eparchy. The Pastoral Centre supports parish communities so priests, staff, volunteers, and parish councils can focus on prayer, Divine Liturgy, formation, outreach, and community life.
The Pastoral Centre helps coordinate:
- Eparchial leadership and Chancery support
- General administration and official correspondence
- Finance, accounting, bookkeeping, payments, and donation receipts
- Communications, website content, news, parish announcements, and event promotion
- Safe Environment contacts and support
- Marriage Tribunal inquiries
- Cemetery administration and family inquiries
- Family and Life Ministries, Youth Ministry, Vocations, and other pastoral services
For local sacramental needs, Divine Liturgy times, parish events, or community questions, your parish is usually the best first contact. For Eparchy-wide questions, ministry support, administration, or help finding the right person, the Pastoral Centre can assist.
