History

Very Reverend Philip Ruh, O.M.I. (Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate) designed and led the construction of the Immaculate Conception Church and Grotto, in Cooks Creek, Manitoba.

The construction of the Church started in 1930 and was completed in 1952.
The church was built from bricks in a cruciform plan (shape of cross), measuring 140 feet long, 100 feet wide and 110 feet high with nine domes. Seating capacity is 434.
The church was designated a Manitoba Provincial Heritage Site in 1986 and a National Historic Site in 1997.
In 1954, the construction of the Grotto, a replica of the Lady of Lourdes Grotto in France, began.
Following the death of Father Ruh in 1962, the St. Josaphat Knights of Columbus Council facilitated the completion of the Grotto by 1970.
