Our History

The parish’s story stretches back to the early 20th century, when Eastern European immigrants settled in Carnegie seeking opportunity and a place to worship in the Byzantine Christian tradition. Initially worshipping with Sts. Peter & Paul's in Carnegie (founded in 1903), by the 1940s, under the holy leadership of Fr. Marion Kucher, the community aligned fully with the Ukrainian Catholic Church. By 1951 the faithful built a new home under the heroic leadership of Monsignor Russell Danylchuck, who shepherded the parish until 1984.

Over the decades, the parish was served by devoted pastors including Fr. Richard Seminack, later appointed Bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of St. Nicholas in Chicago, and Monsignor George Appleyard, who guided the parish through years of growth and liturgical enrichment. In 2014, Fr. Jason Charron was assigned as pastor and continues to lead the parish in fidelity to the Kyivan Byzantine tradition, rooted in worship, service, and community life.
