The presence of Ukrainian Catholics in Ituna dates back to 1905, when the first settlers began to arrive in the area. The first Divine Liturgies were celebrated in private homes and later in a vacant hotel by the prolific missionary Fr. Achille Delaere, C.Ss.R., who traveled from Yorkton to attend to the growing community.

The first church was constructed in 1919, and shortly afterward a monastery was built adjacent to it. Both served the community well until the 1960s, when the church was demolished to make way for the present monumental structure. Built of steel, brick, and concrete, this church was made possible through the generous donations and labour of the people of the area. It was constructed under the foremanship of Wasyl Buchko. The parish hall and cemetery are situated nearby.

The parish was visited in its early years by Blessed Bishop Nykyta Budka, who blessed the first church building in 1920. Over the years, it has also welcomed Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, Major Archbishop Josyf Cardinal Slipyj, and many other notable church leaders.

The Redemptorist Fathers played a vital role in the establishment and growth of this parish. The Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate were also integral to the community, arriving in 1915 and operating a school and orphanage for many years. The Redemptorist Fathers withdrew from the area in 2018. Since that time, the parish has been served by priests of the Eparchy of Saskatoon, and since 2023, clergy from Yorkton have provided pastoral care, with Divine Liturgies continuing to be celebrated each weekend.
