Welcome to the St Cyril Methodist Roman Catholic Church. It is
located on the highway 231 between Gimli and Fraserwood. It is
currently a municipal heritage site. Stop and take the time to have
a look around at pioneer history being preserved! Congrats to
"Mugga" for being FTF!!
Sts. Cyril and Methodius Roman Catholic Church is a select
representative of rural Manitoba places of worship built in the
early decades of the twentieth century by Eastern European
immigrant communities. Its site, donated by parishioners, was
occupied by the first Polish Catholic church (1904) in the Gimli
district and for many years was the centre of spiritual life for
Poles in the area. The current building, the third at the location
after fires destroyed its predecessors in 1909 and 1911, was served
by priests from Arborg and Winnipeg until it became a chaplaincy of
a newly formed parish at Camp Morton in 1924. Its humble
architecture, effectual yet also with attention to detail, is based
on the symbolism of the Holy Trinity, as seen in the tripartite
massing, plan and arrangement of various elements. Vacant for
nearly four decades, the church was restored in 2000 and now hosts
various celebrations again.
