The Church of SS. Peter and Paul near Hodgeville, Saskatchewan, is the second church built by the local Ukrainian Catholic parish. The original church, constructed in 1916 by early settlers who arrived in the area in 1909, was a modest rectangular structure with a central cupola and simple interior furnishings, including the main altar and chairs for seating. This first building served the community until 1964, when it was dismantled and replaced by the present church, built on the same site by parishioners.
The current church stands on a flat, treeless one-acre site and is a wood-framed rectangular structure with a gable roof, two front towers topped with cupolas, and a lean-to porch with a bell mounted under its eaves. The exterior is finished in wood siding, while the interior features wood paneling, a painted ceiling, and a carpeted wooden floor. A large chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, adding to the simple but reverent atmosphere. The sanctuary, slightly elevated, includes the main altar, flanked by two sacristies accessible from both the interior and exterior. A choir loft, vestibule, and a fully functional basement parish hall with kitchen facilities complete the layout.
The interior is adorned with traditional religious imagery, including a glass-mounted oil print of Saints Peter and Paul behind the altar, as well as icons of the Holy Mother of God, Christ Who Loves Mankind, and the Stations of the Cross along the nave. Votive altars sit beneath key icons, and wooden pews seat approximately 100 parishioners. The church is equipped with electricity and central oil heating, ensuring comfort during worship.
Historical elements remain on the site, including a 1937 mission cross and a wooden belfry built in 1964. The parish cemetery is also located on the grounds. Previously, a parish hall built in 1928 served the community but was sold in 1945. Originally registered under the name Gooding—a now-defunct post office—the parish later came under Hodgeville, the nearest community. Today, the Church of SS. Peter and Paul falls under the pastoral care of Swift Current and continue to serve as a spiritual home for the local Ukrainian Catholic faithful.
