The parish was founded in 1916 as part of the North American Missionary Archdiocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. The original wooden church, built in 1919, served for nearly half a century; in 1968 it was replaced on the same site by the present building designed by architect Sergey Padyukov. It is notable for its exaggerated arches, oval windows, silver-tile cladding and blue onion dome.

Приход основан в 1916 году в составе Северо-Американской миссионерской архиепископии Русской православной церкви. Первая деревянная церковь, построенная в 1919 году, служила почти полвека; в 1968 году на её месте возведено нынешнее здание по проекту архитектора Сергея Падюкова. Его отличают выразительные арки, овальные окна, облицовка серебристой плиткой и синяя луковичная глава.
