More Information
This cross shaped structure replaces two earlier churches that were built in 1914 and 1916
"The structure of the church depends upon diagonally intersecting laminated wood arches to create the sawtoothed form of the building. Salmon toned concrete brick walls inside and out, and narrow windows combine to create a lively translation from older traditional churches."
John W. Graham. Guide to the Architecture of Greater Winnipeg (Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press, 1960), 40.
