The first Ukrainian settlers arrived in this area in 1907. In 1910, they built the Church of Ss. Peter and Paul on the present church site. The original church stood prominently on a hillside several miles southeast of the town of Arran until it was dismantled in 1961. A second, larger church was subsequently constructed on the same site.

Over the years, the church has undergone extensive renovations and upgrades and continues to be lovingly cared for by its congregation. It is currently served by clergy from Ss. Peter and Paul Parish in Canora.

The information presented here is drawn in part from the work of Anna Maria Kowcz-Baran, Ukrainian Catholic Churches of Saskatchewan, published in 1977. This monumental historical survey is available for purchase at the Musée Ukraina Museum for $20.00.
