Established in St. Paul <br />in the 1950's, the parish operated <br />as the Saints Volodymyr and Olga <br />Ukrainian Orthodox Church until it <br />moved to Arden Hills in 1995 and <br />changed its name to St. Katherine's. <br />Prior to the move, parishioner Oleg <br />Gregoret designed and oversaw the <br />construction of the building. The <br />iconic black domes are indication <br />of the 17th-century Ukrainian <br />Baroque architectural style, which <br />is known for its geometric and <br />cylindrical elements. <br />Not long after St. Katherine’s <br />opened its doors in Arden Hills, <br />they also opened a small museum <br />in the same building celebrating <br />Ukrainian culture. The exhibits <br />feature traditional textiles, centuries <br />old ceramics, paintings, garments, <br />and instruments, all of which are <br />considered family heirlooms by the <br />congregants who donated them. <br />Every spring, the church hosts <br />an annual Ukrainian Dinner <br />and Painted Egg sale that all <br />are welcome to join. The event <br />features traditional baked goods <br />and a silent auction. Additionally, <br />the local parish is partnering with <br />St. Michael and St. George’s <br />Ukrainian Orthodox Church in <br />Minneapolis to host humanitarian <br />aid fundraising luncheons.
