Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile:
The Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile is the cathedral of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Apostolic Exarchate in Great Britain.
History of Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile:
Though independent from the authority of the Latin Rite hierarchy in England and Wales, and instead under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Catholic apostolic exarch, territorially, the cathedral is considered to be part of the Marylebone deanery of the Latin Rite Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster.
It is the named for the Holy Family, during their flight into Egypt. It is located at Duke Street (off Oxford Street), Mayfair, London, England. It is open for worship daily. It was closed temporarily in 2007 when part of the ceiling collapsed, but has since been refurbished. The icon screen created by a Ukrainian monk, Juvenalij Mokrytsky, was not affected by the ceiling's collapse.
The building it occupies was designed by Alfred Waterhouse in 1891 for occupation by the Congregational King's Weigh House. They sold it to the Catholic Church in 1967......Wikipedia >>
