St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church
St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, a Municipal Heritage Property, is situated in the Hamlet of Smuts, approximately 45 kilometers northeast of Saskatoon. This designation covers a one-story, wood-frame church and belfry on about one hectare of land.
The church holds heritage value for its ties to the local Ukrainian community, which began settling in the Smuts district in 1900. Initially, the settlers built a church three kilometers southwest of the current location. After the original church burned down in 1925, the present church was built and relocated to its current site in 1955. Perched on a hill overlooking the community, the church symbolizes the establishment of Ukrainian Greek Catholic faith in the region.
Architecturally, the church is significant for its Neo-Byzantine style. It includes traditional Eastern church elements such as a cruciform footprint, a large onion-shaped central dome with two smaller domes on adjacent towers, and a detached belfry near the main entrance.
The church's heritage value is reflected in its Neo-Byzantine design features, including its cruciform layout, onion-shaped domes, front towers, rounded-arch and stained glass windows, and the detached belfry. Additionally, its historical association with the Ukrainian community is highlighted by its original site orientation and prominent location.
