The morning ended with Metropolitan Wasyly blessing the three domes assisted by attending Clergy. A short program followed the celebratory dinner enjoyed in the auditorium.

In 1963, under the chairmanship of Mr. William Perrick, the parish purchased property for the site of a new church which is now 1500 Day Street.
In the afternoon of April 5, 1964 the Late Metropolitan Ilarion, assisted by Right Rev. Bishop Boris and local clergy consecrated the land on which the new church was to be built. The same month construction of the new church had begun. On October 5 of the same year, construction was completed.
