The first phase in construction of this Ukrainian Orthodox church on Main Street in Winnipeg occurred between 1948 and 1951. Services were held in its basement auditorium until a formal sanctuary was completed in 1961. A mosaic above the main entrance was created by artist Leo Mol.
In July 2016, the main floor was badly damaged in an apparent arson fire and its historic iconostasis was destroyed. A new one that incorporated elements from the original iconostasis was constructed. The iconography is by Vera Senchuk who supervised its restoration after many were damaged by smoke and water.
