The Very Reverend Philip Ruh, O.M.I. (born Philip Roux; Ukrainian: Філіпп Ру, Filipp Ru; 6 August 1883 – 24 October 1962) was Catholic priest and church architect. Although he was educated as a Belgian Oblate (Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate), he is remembered for his work in Canada with the Eastern Catholic Ukrainian Canadian community building over forty Byzantine Rite churches and several grottos in a unique architectural style that mixed Byzantine, Latin, and modern Canadian influences.
The style is often called prairie cathedral,
which is a common nickname for several of his churches, even though only two of them are properly cathedrals.
