Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Designation Date: February 24, 1998
Designation Authority: The R.M. of Lawrence
Present Owner: The Ruthenian Greek Catholic Parish of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

With its compact nave and enormous and beautifully-shaped dome, this church is a memorable piece of architectural design. Built in 1937 to replace an earlier church from 1910, the building was erected under the direction of M. Sawchuk. Jacob Maydanyk, a notable icon painter in Manitoba, created some of the icons within. The dome, which is open to the inside, not only brings in light but also creates a space that enriches the spirit.
