THE UKRAINIAN SISTERS SERVANTS OF MARY IMMACULATE AND BASILIAN FATHERS’ ACTIVITY IN CANADA IN 1901-1925
The study focuses on the first half of the 20th century Basilian fathers and Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate missions in Canada and the people behind those missions. The study explains that despite the zeal, knowledge, and dedication of the missionaries, the Basilian and Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate missions in Canada were not organized, and were not particularly trained in missions. But their work during 1902–1925 between Ukrainian immigrants from Galicia helped to stop the processes of assimilation and transferring to the Churches that were widespread in Canada.
Key words: Basilians Fathers (OSBM), Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate (SSMI), priests, immigrants, Roman Catholic Church (RCC), Ukrainian Catholic Church (UCC), Canada.
