In 1935 the new settlers, who came to North Star from many places in Alberta and Canada, organized the building of an Orthodox church. The church was built of logs during 1935--1936. it was finished with a shingled roof and lumber floor.
 Sts. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church, North Star
In 1945, Petrash Davidiuk donated a church bell which was set up in a bell tower.
In 1954 the interior of the log church was renovated and repainted, and in 1966 the floor was covered with linoleum.
North Star is truly an outpost of Orthodoxy in Canada. It is located farther north then any other Orthodox parish in Canada. Though small in membership and structure, nevertheless, the faith and spirit of Orthodoxy in this Parish is truly strong. |
