Siracky Chapel was built by three stone masons in 1940 and became known as "Church of the Weary Traveler" or "Church of the Road." It was commissioned by Peter Siracky, a founding member of the nearby Transfiguration of Our Lord Ukrainian Catholic Church (Spas Moskalyk).
The chapel was built to show the appreciation that he and his fellow Ukrainian settlers had for their new found freedom and love of their church.
As you can see from the photos there was lots of snow all around the chapel...it was a winter wonderland.
