Bishop Andrew Roborecki Foundation

The Bishop Andrew Roborecki Foundation was named after the first Bishop of Ukrainian Catholics in Saskatchewan. The Foundation was incorporated by an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan in March 1982 for the purpose of providing financial assistance and support to students in theology and religious studies who:

• a) are of the Ukrainian Catholic Rite, or who embrace the Ukrainian Catholic Rite;
• b) become fluent in the Ukrainian language;
• c) desire to work as priests in the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy in Saskatchewan.

The head office of the Foundation is located at 214 Avenue M South, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7M 2K4 and is governed by the Bishop of the Eparchy and five trustees elected at the biannual convention of the Ukrainian Catholic Council of Saskatchewan.

The Foundation solicits funds by means of an annual campaign through all the Parishes within the Eparchy in the month of January. All other donations from private individuals, associations, corporations and bequests are gratefully accepted, and can be mailed to the address shown above. Charitable receipts will be provided.

For the period 1982 to 2010 the Foundation has provided over $357,000.00 in financial support to students who meet the objectives of the Foundation.
