The Holy Eucharist Cathedral[1] Also Cathedral of the Holy Eucharist (Ukrainian: Катедра Пресвятої Евхаристії)[2] It is the name that receives a religious building affiliated with the Catholic church that is located in New Westminster,[3] a city in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia,[4] Canada, and a member municipality of Metro Vancouver.

The cathedral is the mother church of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of New Westminster (Latin: Eparchia Neo-Vestmonasteriensis Ucrainorum; Ukrainian: Українська Католицька Єпархія Нью Вестмінстера) which was created in 1974 by the bull "Cum territorii" of Pope Paul VI.

It is one of the 2 Catholic cathedrals in the Vancouver area, the other being that of the Holy Rosary that follows the Roman or Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. In 2018 the cathedral received 2 pieces of Mother Teresa of Calcutta's hair, so the creation of a reliquary was commissioned to protect them[5]

Its current administrator is the Bishop Michael Kwiatkowski.
