This Ukrainian Orthodox church and its associated cemetery in the Municipality of Harrison Park was established in September 1937. Michael Swistun directed a volunteer construction crew and Olga Moroz, a noted icon painter, was commissioned in 1947 to paint many of the interior surfaces. It became a municipally-designated historic site in January 2003. Some restoration of the building was done as part of the Manitoba Prairie Icons Project.
