The parish dates from 1912–1913, when a Russian brotherhood bought and converted a Protestant church in lower Homestead. In 1941 the whole neighbourhood was cleared for the expansion of the steel works; with the 75,000 dollars received the parish bought a lot with a house on 15th Avenue. The design of the brick church was reported in December 1949 (architect Thomas Pringle; historian James D. Van Trump attributed the design to R. N. Verbrowski), and Andrey Avinoff took part in the design; services were held in the basement until completion, and the church was consecrated in 1951.

Приход возник в 1912–1913 годах, когда русское братство купило и переоборудовало протестантскую церковь в нижней части Хомстеда. В 1941 году при расширении сталелитейного завода весь квартал снесли; на полученные 75 тысяч долларов приход купил участок с домом на 15-й авеню. Проект кирпичной церкви опубликован в декабре 1949 года (архитектор Томас Прингл; историк Дж. Ван Трамп приписывал замысел Р. Н. Вербровскому), в оформлении участвовал Андрей Авинов; до окончания работ служили в цокольном этаже, храм освящён в 1951 году.
