St. Onuphrius Church is a consecrated Ukrainian Catholic church, and a testament to how newcomers to Canada adapted and reaffirmed important traditions min establishing communities on the Prairies. 170,000 Ukrainians came to Canada between1891 and 1914. Like many immigrant groups, they strove to adapt and maintain their distinctive cultural, linguistic and religious traditions in Canada. Completed in 1915 and renovated sporadically over the next 50 years, St. Oniphrius provided a space where the Ukrainians living in Smoky Lake, Alberta, could follow the devotional practices and the liturgical cycles that continued to structure their lives. It was dismantled, moved and rebuilt in this museum in 1996. The church is still used for religious services today.
