"V"


Saint Volodymyr Ukrainian Catholic Memorial Church.


The church was constructed in 1979 with additional secondary structures built over the next five years.  


The bell inside the tower was purchased at an auction in nearby Rosthern and was christened as "Andrew."


The Trident Cross is a cultural symbol of Ukraine that can be traced back to first century A.D.


The church is part of the larger Saint Volodymyr's Ukrainian Park near Saskatoon.  The park has everything one would expect including picnic and playground areas, a swimming pool, hiking trails and a camp for kids.
