A small church near Carpenter, Saskatchewan.
Settlers began arriving from western Ukraine in 1900.
Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ Ukrainian Catholic Church was built in 1904.
The building is constructed of planed logs.
The belfry was built between 1910 and 1915 and houses one large bell and two small bells.
The mission cross in the church yard commemorates the Holy Mission of June 15, 1912. Before that date the existing hierarchy of Latin Canadian Catholics opposed a separate Ukrainian Catholic Church. Official recognition in any matter is always a day for celebration.

Lots of interesting angles on this one. Wonder what the smaller building was used for.
ReplyDeleteThat's the belfry (or belltower).
