History

The parish of the Holy Family at Tribune has the southernmost church in the eparchy. Built in 1944, it sits in the hills east of the village of Tribune. As early as 1919 parishioners met in a tiny chapel built in the yard of Hryhoriy Koszman. This chapel was destroyed in a windstorm in 1921.
In 1943 Hryhoriy Koszman died and bequeathed 160 acres of land to the parish. The profits from this land were to help the parishioners construct and maintain a church.
The information provided here is taken in part from the work of Anna Maria Kowcz-Baran, Ukrainian Catholic Churches of Saskatchewan, published in 1977. This monumental historical survey can be found for sale at the Musée Ukraina Museum for $20.00.
