History

In 1897, a group of Ukrainians immigrated from Galicia to Canada before settling in the Wilton, North Dakota, area. Orthodox worship services were initially carried out in private homes. In 1913, funding was secured to build a church. Two local carpenters, John Krivatski and John Schowchuk, oversaw the construction.

As of the time of the NRHP listing in 1981, the church no longer held regular services,[1] and it is still closed today.[2] The two other Ukrainian Greek Orthodox churches in North Dakota, St. Peter and Paul in Belfield and St. Pokrova near Killdeer,[3] also no longer hold services.[1]
