The Church of the Descent of the Holy Ghost was built in 1913 on a small parcel of land south of Candiac, donated by Ivan Kotyliuk. The parish was visited by Blessed Bishop Nykyta Budka in 1917 and again in 1922.
The church was beautifully decorated by Havrylo Wasyliw in 1918, during the pastorate of Rev. Kaluzniacki, and it retains this original decorative scheme. Land for the church and the adjoining cemetery was also donated by Ivan Kotyliuk.
The Church of the Descent of the Holy Ghost at Candiac is served by clergy from the eparchy.
