| UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
3150 Commor,
Hamtramck, Michigan
This church was built in the late
1940s-1950s. for the Ukrainian community in Hamtramck. Intricate
samplings of Byzantine art are housed within the church, including a
iconostasis (wall of pictures) by Ukrainian artist Mychajlo Dmytrenko.
The original church was a wood framed country
style building on Grayling. It was built in 1913.
The church bells were above the garage on the second
floor. The priests lived in a house next to the
church. The Ukrainian school was above the hall, and
the convent was next door. This is where the
first Ukrainian community was at the time. The
street of Grayling was 98% Ukrainian.
