History

Bishop (now Saint) Nikolaj Velimirović blessed the Church Hall on September 5, 1954.[2]

The church was completed and consecrated on May 22, 1955 by Bishop Dionisije Milivojević. Princess Olga (sister of Russian Emperor Nicholas II) attended the celebration and banquet, donating an icon of St. Alexander Nevski made by her own hand.[2]
