The construction of the new church has begun in August of 2004. On Sunday, September 19, 2004, His Eminence Metropolitan Laurus has consecrated the foundation of the New Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God.

On Lazarus Saturday, April 23, 2005, His Eminence Metropolitan Laurus along with Protodeacon Joseph Jaroschuk and Subdeacon Nicholas Olhovsky, visited our parish and performed the minor consecration of the new Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God. At the end of the service, His Eminence congratulated the Rector, all those who labored towards the church's construction, the parishioners and worshipers, wishing them all God's help in their further labors for the speedy completion of the construction. That evening, the Rector, Mitred Protopriest Wsevolod Drobot, Father Michael Fritz and Deacon Michael Soloviev and all the parishioners, performed the first service in the new church.
