There are at least three Ukrainian or Orthodox churches in Yorkton. I visited two of them - the awesome St Mary's Ukrainian Catholic church with its breathtaking, painted interior dome, and St Mark the Evangelist Orthodox church, which is shared with a Greek Orthodox congregation. I had hoped to visit the 3rd church, Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox church, but was not able to contact anyone to let us in the morning we were there.
