Holy Spirit Church Derwent Alberta

With a tight schedule and and only minutes to spare, all there’s time for in Derwent Alberta is a quick pit stop to snap a couple photos of Holy Spirit Ukrainian Catholic Church. In the Eastern Orthodox style (meaning domes are a prominent feature) the building dates from the late 1940s and so a relative youngster compared other places similar to this we’ve visited.

There used to be a house (home for priest and family) just to the right of the building, but it was torn down long ago. For this type of church, it’s common for the bell to be housed in a separate building or tower, but sometimes they’d be mounted on a simple metal framework as seen here. Ring it and the whole town knows it!

Tick-tock, tick-tock: time won’t leave us be and in a flash we’re gone.
