Summary
Ukrainian culture is almost entirely intertwined with religion. Without having a place to practise their faith, Ukrainian settlers would have found it difficult to carry on the Ukrainian culture at all here in Canada. In building these churches, Ukrainian settlers created the foundation of Ukrainian culture in Canada today.
So when we consider the strong Ukrainian culture and community we have here in Manitoba and throughout the entire country, we have to remember that we owe it all to the Ukrainians who felt it necessary to preserve it all and to pass it on to us. We can see their dedication to this cause in the rural churches they built. These churches not only stand as the beginnings of Ukrainian churches in Canada today, but also as monuments to everything Ukrainian settlers and immigrants lived through to bring the Ukrainian culture to Canada, and to the faith that helped them persevere though it all.See the full content of this document
