Jesus Christ came to establish a way of life; we call that the Church. We are an organized body of believers following in the footsteps of the apostles, according to a particular customs, culture, liturgy, and spiritual traditions recognized as an Eastern Catholic Church, “Byzantine Rite.” We belong to the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton.

Our parish was founded in May of 1967 as a mission in Calgary,  adopted the name “St Stephen Protomartyr Ukrainian Catholic Church” in its founding Constitutions, and the rest, ... well, is unique history. Stephen was a saint. Read his story in Acts 6:5ff. Originally assigned duties “to serve at table” - a busboy! - he testified to the power of the Holy Spirit unlike anyone else. He was stoned after preaching a powerful sermon, and died. That makes him the church’s first martyr; ergo the name “Protomartyr.”

Come pray with us and discover who Jesus Christ is.
And re-discover your roots.
