Nativity of the Mother of God

Operating as a mission parish on the northern part of Vancouver Island, this community provides vital liturgical access to the faithful in the Comox Valley. Though smaller in size, the parish is characterized by deep personal bonds among its members and a commitment to maintaining Ukrainian traditions. It works in close coordination with the Nanaimo parish to ensure the Byzantine rite remains accessible to island residents.
