The parish of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God was founded in 1951 by the Ukrainians who came to Canada during the pre and postwar years. The first priest was G.Boyko. At first, before the church was build, church services were held in the old hall which was located beside the residence. The current church is relatively young - it was built in 1988 and was blessed by Bishop Boretskyi. Great contributions to help build the church were made by the Kartofel family and also family members from the Plaschansky, Kazaniwskyi, Sembay,Dmyterko,Bruch,Krivoruchko,Haras,Moroz, and many others. These people did not want to just build a temple - but rather create a special Ukrainian spiritual center for themselves and their descendants.
