 What is Immaculate Heart of Mary School?

Immaculate Heart of Mary School, formerly St. Nicholas School, is a Ukrainian Catholic School situated at 650 Flora Avenue, North Winnipeg. This school had its beginnings in 1905, and by 1906 it moved into the basement of St. Nicholas Church. Then, in 1911, Archbishop Langevin, Archbishop of St. Boniface, supplied the funds for a new building. Through the years that followed, St. Nicholas School served the Ukrainian people. On April 28th, 1963 the present school was officially opened and the name was changed from “St. Nicholas” to “Immaculate Heart of Mary” with the hope of making it less parochial and more city wide.
