The Russian Orthodox parish in Cabramatta took shape at the turn of the 1950s; the first services were held in a small house on the site converted into a church. In 1953 the Russian architect Michael Miklashevsky drew up plans for a new church on John Street. The church, with a gilded cupola about 33.5 metres high and room for 600 people, was officially opened on 1 February 1969 by Bishop Konstantin. The parish belongs to the Australian and New Zealand Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.

Русский православный приход в Кабраматте сложился на рубеже 1940–1950-х годов; первые службы шли в небольшом доме на этом участке, приспособленном под церковь. В 1953 году русский архитектор Михаил Миклашевский подготовил проект нового храма на Джон-стрит. Церковь с золочёным куполом высотой около 33,5 метра, вмещающая 600 человек, официально открыта 1 февраля 1969 года епископом Константином. Приход относится к Австралийско-Новозеландской епархии Русской православной церкви заграницей.
