St. Petro Mohyla Institute

St. Petro Mohyla Institute Mohyla Institute is a post-secondary student residence located just off of the University of Saskatchewan campus. Petro Mohyla. Both sexes would be accepted.

The institute was founded in 1916, and named after the Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolitan, St. Later the institute moved from its original location on Main Street to its current address at 1240 Temperance Street in the 1960s. During the first decade of the last century, after attending to their basic needs, recent immigrants from Ukraine turned their attention to the education of their children. At t

hat time, a number of teachers and students of Ukrainian origin formed a student society. They were very concerned about the economic and cultural well-being of their fellow Ukrainian-Canadians. They had decided to establish a Ukrainian based institution in Saskatoon. In 1916, a fundraising campaign for the establishment of such a facility was launched. The campaign was highly successful and in June, 1916, a call for students went out. These students would attend public schools, secondary schools, Normal Schools (teachers' college) and university. The institute would offer Ukrainian language, history and literature classes. An underlying principle of the institution was 'To be a good Canadian citizen, it was desirable to maintain one's origin and national culture'. Later that year the institute was opened and named in honour of Petro Mohyla, an outstanding educationalist and dignitary of the Orthodox Church in Kiev. It was housed in rented premises. There were 35 students in this non-sectarian institution. In 1917, the St. Petro Mohyla Institute was incorporated. That year, the number of students increased to 70. The next major decision was to purchase and remodel a suitable building to house the institute. A building was obtained and served as the institute to the end of 1964. During these years, the mix of students shifted gradually from a predominance of public and high school to the present situation where virtually all are pursuing university or other post-secondary education.

Our summer season came to a wonderful close with a group from Iwate University in Japan who stayed with us at Mohyla Institute for three weeks. It was a pleasure to welcome them and be part of their time in Saskatoon.

And now, as summer comes to an end, we are getting ready for a new season — welcoming our students back for the upcoming academic year! 🎓

Today, Ukrainians around the world mark 35 years since Ukraine renewed its independence.

Even as Russia’s genocidal war continues, Ukraine’s spirit, identity, and culture endure. As Ukrainian Canadians, we carry both a privilege and a responsibility: to preserve and share Ukrainian culture, to protect it from erasure, and to stand firmly with Ukraine.

We remember the lives tragically lost, honour the defenders protecting Ukraine’s future, and thank all Canadians who continue to stand with the Ukrainian people.

May Ukraine’s courage and cultural resilience continue to unite and inspire us.

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! 🇺🇦

Сьогодні українці в усьому світі відзначають 35 років відновленої незалежности України.

Попри те, що геноцидна війна Росії триває, український дух, ідентичність і культура живуть. Як українці Канади, ми маємо привілей і відповідальність зберігати й поширювати українську культуру, захищати її від знищення та непохитно підтримувати Україну.

Ми пам’ятаємо тих, чиї життя були трагічно втрачені, вшановуємо захисників і захисниць, які боронять майбутнє України, та дякуємо всім канадцям, які продовжують підтримувати український народ.

Нехай мужність і культурна стійкість України й надалі об’єднують і надихають нас.

Слава Україні! Героям слава! 🇺🇦
