In 1906, settlers from the Halychyna area of Ukraine began construction of this church in the Poplar Park area of the Rural Municipality of St. Clements. The first service was held in the spring of that year. Originally Greek Catholic, it was later converted to the Orthodox Church. The building, containing pre-revolutionary Russian icons, was renovated in 1929. Immediately north of the church building is a small cemetery. A plaque beside the church was dedicated on 11 June 2006 by the St. Clements Heritage Advisory Committee.
