Ukrainian settlement in the Rama area began in 1912. These people gathered for worship at the church at Dobrowody which was cared for by the Redemptorist Fathers of Yorkton. The first church at Rama was built in 1928 but it was quickly outgrown. The present church was finished in 1936.
This impressive structure is beautifully decorated and is notable for it’s seven domes. Josyf Cardinal Slipyj visited Rama in 1968 while touring the area. This church is beautifully cared for and used regularly, being cared for by clergy from the parish at Canora.
