The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1912 under the direction of Fr. Achille Delaere, C.Ss.R., and under the foremanship of Mr. F. Novakowski. The church was blessed by Blessed Bishop Nykyta Budka in 1913 and was decorated in 1936 by the artist Paul Zabolotny.

This historic church is dominated by a massive dome of striking design and has been beautifully upgraded over the years with new windows, siding, and shingling. It continues to be lovingly cared for by its congregation and is served several times each year by clergy from 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.
