Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Canada

The Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Canada () is a diocese (eparchy) of the Serbian Orthodox Church, covering Canada.

History

The Serbian Orthodox Eparchy in the United States and Canada was established in 1921. In 1963, it was reorganized into three eparchies and in 1983, a fourth eparchy was created specifically for the Canada at the behest of Sava Vuković, the then-bishop of Eastern America and Canada. This followed a period of growth in Serb immigrants to Canada following World War II, as well as a desire in decades prior for the Serbian Orthodox clergy to reach their parishioners more easily. In 1984, Georgije Đokić was elected as its first bishop.
