Ukrainian settlement in the Rama area began in 1912. Early settlers gathered for worship at the church in Dobrowody, which was cared for by the Redemptorist Fathers of Yorkton. The first church in Rama was built in 1928 but was soon outgrown. The present church was completed in 1936.

This impressive structure is beautifully decorated and is notable for its seven domes. Josyf Cardinal Slipyj visited Rama in 1968 while touring the area. The church continues to be lovingly cared for and is used regularly, being served by clergy from the parish in 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.
