Historic Sites of Manitoba: Sts. Vladimir and Olga Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral and Parish Hall (115 McGregor Street, Winnipeg)

Link to:
Clerics | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

Construction of Sts. Vladimir and Olga Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral on McGregor Street in Winnipeg, designed by local architect John N. Semmens, began in 1947 but was delayed by material shortages following the Second World War. It opened in April 1951. Sixteen of the 34 stained glass windows in the sanctuary were the work of artist Leo Mol. The Parish Hall to the north of the Cathedral began life in 1941 as the church. It was converted to its present purpose when the Cathedral was built. In February 2018, both structures became municipally-designated historic buildings.
