Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Resurrection

Written by Dauphine | Nov 16, 2022 9:10:54 PM

The multi-domed Historic Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Resurrection, built between 1936 and 1939 under the direction of Father Philip Ruh, is an ambitious example of the cathedral-style churches built by Ukrainian congregations in Manitoba in the 1920s to 1940s.

This splendid church features the early Kievan style of Eastern Byzantine architecture with a dramatic roofline and spectacular interior iconography. The visually rich interior was painted by Canadian iconographer Theodore Baran and is known as a Prairie Cathedral.

The church served the needs of Dauphin area Ukrainians for over five decades and the provincial and a national historic site is now used on special occasions.
