Dormition of St. Mary Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Newbrook (UOC)

Photographs | Churches

Initiated on 29 June 1952, the congregation originally adopted the name Holy Ghost Ukrainian Orthodox Church. However, when a formal application for membership in the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada was submitted after a meeting held on 28 February 1954, the name of the new parish was changed to that of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. With the establishment of this parish, a congregation that had been active in the nearby community of Danube dissolved itself.  Instead, they joined forces with their fellow Orthodox adherents in Newbrook. Indeed, the organization of the latter merely marked the continuation of the existence of the former in a new location.

Construction of a sanctuary began in 1956, when congregation consisted of ten families, but only three registered members. That same year eight services were held in the community by the priest resident in Radway.
