святий параскевія


Saint Paraskevia is a Ukrainian Catholic Church near Cossack, Alberta.


The cemetery is behind the church.  A large path and portion of the cemetery had been cleared of snow for a recent burial.  Always nice to see a country cemetery still in use.


This small church built in 1930 replaced the tiny log chapel that had been raised in 1913.  


Both the church and bell tower have recently received new roofs and siding.  While I didn't see the interior, I understand that it remains much as it was in 1930 with an iconostasis added in the late 1950's.  

More recent photos of this lovely little church can be seen here:
