The foundation stone was blessed and laid by the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church Pavle during his visit to Canada on June 14, 1994.

The foundations of the new church were blessed by the Bishop of Canada Georgije (Đokić) on November 26, 1995.

Due to the beginning of the breakup of Yugoslavia, the construction of the church was halted and was continued in 1999.

On July 31, 2022, the Serbian Canadian Monument designed by Lilly Otasevic honouring the first Serbian settlers in Ontario was erected and consecrated in the port of the church.

[3] The monument is dedicated to the generations of Serbs who preserved the Serbian heritage and tradition in Canada for over a century.
