The United Church in Garland, Manitoba. It was built in 1916 and originally named Saint John’s Ruthenian Presbyterian Church.
The Presbyterian Church of Canada assumed the role of converting Ukrainian pioneers to the Presbyterian faith. I think the fact that so many Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches far outnumber United churches tells the story.
In 1925 the Presbyterian Church joined the new United Church of Canada.
