In the years after World War II many Ukrainians were moving out of the original Ukrainian Neighborhood (Chicago & Western Aves.) into the Northwest Side of Chicago. Seeing a need for a new Ukrainian Parish, Archbishop Constantine Bohachevsky appointed, in August 1956, a young energetic priest, Fr. Joseph Shary, to organize a new community. The first two Liturgies were celebrated at St. Patrick's High School Auditorium, but with the help of a handful of pioneering families, the first church was built at its current location. This Building stands north of the current church building and is used as a Parish Life Center that houses offices, classrooms, and a hall. It is also home to the Selfreliance Ukrainian American Federal Credit Union's northwest branch.
As the community quickly grew in number, Fr. Shary realized a larger church building needed to be built. He saw this as an opportunity to build a spectacular Church for "THE GLORY OF GOD AND FUTURE GENERATIONS." The church was dedicated and consecrated by Bishop Jaroslav Gabro on May 22, 1977.
