The first church of the Transfiguration was built in Preeceville in 1940. The necessity of its construction had become apparent as Ukrainian Catholics moved into town from the nearby rural parishes. This church was blessed that year by Bishop Andrew Roborecki.
In 1979 the present church was constructed. It was decorated by Theodore Baran of Saskatoon. It is lovingly cared for by its devoted congregation and is served regularly from the clergy of the parish at Canora.
The information provided here is taken in part from the work of Anna Maria Kowcz-Baran, Ukrainian Catholic Churches of Saskatchewan, published in 1977. This monumental historical survery can be found for sale at the Musée Ukraina Museum for $20.00.
