History
Saint Sauveur Cathedral in Montreal, Quebec, is the base of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church's eparchy for Canada. The jurisdiction goes by several names: the Greek Melkite Catholic Eparchy of Canada, the Melkite Eparchy of Canada, and the Melkite Greek Catholic Eparchy of Saint-Sauveur of Montréal (Latin: Eparchia Sanctissimi Salvatoris Marianopolitansis Graecorum Melkitarum Catholicorum).
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
