Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate in the USA and Canada

Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate in the USA and Canada [Українська Православна Церква Київського Патріархату в США і Канаді; Ukrainska Pravoslavna Tserkva Kyivskoho Patriarkhatu v SshA i Kanadi]. The Vicariate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate in the USA and Canada is the organizational structure of parishes under the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyiv Patriarchate in North America, chiefly constituted of parishes and faithful who objected to the subordination of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the USA and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada to the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in the 1990s. In 2016 the Vicariate listed 16 parishes and missions in the USA and 2 in Canada. After 2019 the parishes were constituted as the Vicariate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Japan and in 2021 this status was reaffirmed in spite of Patriach Filaret’s attempt to restore the former Kyiv Patriarchal Vicariate based at a cathedral church in Philadelphia.
