The cornerstone was laid on 27 December 1953 by the Most Rev. Nikon, Bishop of Toronto and Canada, and the Most Rev. John, Bishop of San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>In the spring of 1954 the new church building and church hall were completed, and on 8 May Archpriest Peter Kurzemnek, the rector, conducted the minor dedication in honor of the Holy Resurrection of Christ. The Great Dedication was conducted on 11 July 1954 by His Eminence Metropolitan Leonty, assisted by His Grace Bishop Nikon, archpriest Peter Kurzemnek, archpriest Paul Jeromsky of Seattle and other clergy from cities in western Canada and the USA.<\/p>\n<p>The persons who contributed the most to the construction of the new Holy Resurrection church and church hall are: archpriest Peter Kurzemnek, rector; E. P. Rozvaliaeff, warden; Council of the Russian Orthodox Society: M. S. Sergeyeff \u2013 president; E. A. Andreyeff \u2013 vice-president; I. A. Vishniakoff \u2013 treasurer; A. Ya. Adamovich \u2013 custodian; B. I. Shevelyoff \u2013 secretary; Building Commission: A. M. Borimovich, K. F. Gorenko, N. P. Khrennikoff, P. S. Babich, N. F. Ivaschenko, A. A. Kochkanoff, E. A. Fetisoff, N. P. Abramoff, K. O. Diyeff.<\/p>\n<p>The new Holy Resurrection Church is built in Russian style with three domes, of which the middle one has windows; it accommodates up to 450 people standing. The Church Hall has a big upper hall with a stage, a lower (dining) hall with a kitchen, a library, a Council meeting room and other rooms. The total construction cost was close to $70,000.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.holyres.org\/cerkov\/church_construction\/buildcom.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"304\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.holyres.org\/cerkov\/church_construction\/buidcom2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"282\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u041d\u0430 \u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0439\u043f\u043b\u043e\u0449\u0430\u0434\u043a\u0435: J.P.Murphy, M.S.Sergeieff (Sergy), N.Abramov, N.F.Evaschenko (Evans)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.holyres.org\/cerkov\/church_construction\/cr3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.holyres.org\/cerkov\/church_construction\/leonty54.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Metropolitan Leonty celebrates the Divine Liturgy at the Consecration of the church.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.holyres.org\/cerkov\/church_construction\/new_ch1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"286\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Metropolitan Leonty, Bishop Nikon and clergy celebrate the Liturgy<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.holyres.org\/cerkov\/church_construction\/new_ch2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"280\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" lang=\"EN-US\"> <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">His Beatitude Leonty makes a speech<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.holyres.org\/cerkov\/first_chuch\/church54.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"282\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u0417\u0430\u0432\u0435\u0440\u0448\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0430\u044f \u0446\u0435\u0440\u043a\u043e\u0432\u044c \u0432 1954 \u0433\u043e\u0434\u0443.
