St. John Cathedral, (or more formally the Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral of St. John, often misspelled St. John’s) in Edmonton, is the throne of the Bishop of the Western Diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. There is no current bishop of this Cathedral, as the last serving bishop became the Metropolitan of the country (Metropolitan John (Stinka)), however, the next bishop elected and ordained will become the bishop of this Cathedral.
[edit] Cultural Centre
St. John's Cultural Centre was developed and opened for use in 1965. A number of additions and renovations have enhanced the original facility, the latest being the Solarium, which was completed in 2001. The facility was established primarily to accommodate the needs of the congregation, various Ukrainian associations and the community at large.
The Cultural Centre is used for events such as weddings, banquets, socials, memorial dinners, seminars, workshops, conferences and meetings.
