The first Ukrainian Orthodox services in the Menzie area were held in the home of Alex Drul. In 1924 a church committee was formed for the purpose of building a church. On a piece of land donated by John Peleshok, this neat little building took shape. The lead builder was John Panchuk, but all members of the congregation pitched in. The church is a nice example of Ukrainian church architecture, with gleaming onion-shaped domes the clearest expression of the homeland.
