The archbishop began to set to paper his conception of the church and cemetery. He insisted that the church be original and extraordinary, and that it have elements of Ukrainian-style architec­ ture which would reflect the genius of the Ukrainian nation. And, he felt, the church must reach high into the sky. Archbishop Mstyslav engaged a Ukrainian Canadian architect, George Kodak, to design the church, and he showed him his own drawings. A pro­ ject was prepared, and a fund-raising drive was announced for the church that was to become the centerpiece of the Ukrainian Orthodox Center. Groundbreaking ceremonies for con­ struction of the church took place on July 21, 1955, and thus the first step toward the realization of Archbishop Mstyslav's pledge was taken. Meanwhile, as the church was being completed, St. Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery began operations in 1964 with the burial there of the remains of the renowned Ukrainian sculptor, Serhiy Lytvynenko. Dedication ceremonies of the me­ morial church took place on October 10, 1965 — 10 years after construction was begun. Nearly 10,000 faithful flocked to the Ukrainian Orthodox Center of St. Andrew the First-Called Apostle to view the blessing of the new church by Metropolitan John Theodo- rovich with the assistance of Arch­ bishop Mstyslav.. In his sermon that day Metropolitan John noted that the church was built for the benefit "of our children and the future generations of our nation." "In it fthe church) we will daily offer our prayers to God — our prayers for the martyrs of our crucified Church, for Metropolitan Vasyl, for all our bishops, clergy and faithful who were" brutally tortured.
