Near South Holden Farms


This beautiful church is Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Parish.


The church seen here was built in 1916 and replaced the small country church raised in 1906.


There is a large cemetery on the church grounds...


...where many of the early parishioners are buried in unmarked graves.


A monument beside the church celebrating its centennial.


The bell tower and cemetery...


...and a larger view of the grounds.

  1. This one is particularly pretty. I love the green and white colour scheme.

    1. I love it too! The green and white colour scheme is a popular choice with many prairie churches.
