In 1914 a small chapel was built on this land. Construction of the present sanctuary began in 1918 and it was officially incorporated eight years later as the “Ruthenian Greek Catholic Parish of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Leeshore”.
The church was constructed in the Byzantine style, using the stone that was plentiful in this area. In 1924 the inside of the church, including the side altars, was finished by Phillip Pawliuk. The painting of the icons and walls was completed in 1928 by Peter Lipinski. A church bell was donated in 1930 and the bell tower was erected in 1938.
