Fr. Jeffrey Stephaniuk
The first church built in this location was blessed by Blessed Bishop Nykyta Budka. It was built in 1909 at the encouragement of the missionary Fr. Achille Delaere, C.Ss.R. Until this point, services had been offered in the home of Ivan Woytas. The present church, with its substantial dome, was completed in 1933 and blessed by Bishop Basil Ladyka of Winnipeg.
The church has been lovingly cared for and embellished over the years. It boasts a stiking iconostasis, installed in 1957. This was designed by the artist, Theodore Baran, and built by W. Mazden of Ituna.
The parish is served by clergy from Wynyard.
