St. Demetrius Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Jaroslaw) is a compact structure which stands near a well-kept cemetery.

This church is one of the earlier examples of an “open-dome” cruciform church: a large, single central dome is built on an octagonal base

The history of this church echos many others in the area: early churches built, destroyed by fire in this case multiple times and always rebuilt again.

This church stands at the top of a small hill overlooking a cemetery and farmland beyond.

As was the case with many churches in the area, a history of nationalism inherited from the “old country” affected the lives after settling half way around the world in Canada.

Like a number of other churches in the area, differences of belief and cultural background have separated groups of people who originally worshiped together.

Another immaculate church in that speaks to the devotion and work ethic of the people from Europe who settled this part of the province.

This church provides an interesting historical twist: here’s an example of a town being named after a church.

Built in 1900 after three years of labour, this church has the distinction of being the oldest original church in Lamont county.
