This chapel will be surrounded by an interpretive gallery featuring descriptive panels highlighting the history and life of the Ukrainian Catholic Church from its very beginning. The chapel and gallery will come alive through exhibits that change with the Liturgical year. This gallery will honour the dedication and sacrifice of the Clergy, Religious and the people.

Temporary Gallery
This gallery will provide opportunities to feature significant travelling exhibitions as well as in house productions dedicated to celebrating and honouring the achievements of the Ukrainian people in areas such as iconography, church design, liturgical arts, music, visual arts and sciences. With accepted museum standards in place, this gallery will be able to welcome National and International show pieces.

Workshop and Education rooms
With proper facilities, programs can now come alive and what has been packed away will now provide the foundation for the future development of programs that will help inspire and promote an understanding of our vibrant culture and heritage.
