The village of Mingaly with its parish is located southeast of Yekaterinburg and south of Shadrinsk, at a distance of 240 and 25 versts respectively. Before the parish was established, the village was called the village of Mingali, named after the first settler Timofey Ivanov Mingalev, who moved here in 1780 from the Kazan province. The village was part of the parish of the village of Barnevo in the Shadrinsk district, located at least 20 versts away. The road from the village of Mingali to the village of Barnevo passes through ravines, swamps, and rivers, which completely cut off the village from the parish for a long time in spring. Due to the inconvenience of communication with the parish church, the residents decided to build their own church and establish an independent parish, for which they gathered for a general meeting in 1853. On July 2, 1853, the Perm Consistory made a decision to open the Mingaly parish, and on March 3, 1854, the Holy Synod issued a decree allowing the construction of a church in the village of Mingali and the establishment of a parish. By decree of the Perm Spiritual Consistory on July 31, 1854, Archpriest Nikonor Gedeonov was instructed to persuade the residents of the neighboring villages of Mironova and Maksimova to join the new parish. The residents of Mironova agreed, while the residents of Maksimova refused. In 1866, the villages of Shutkina and Vatolina from the Baklansky parish were added to the Mingaly parish, which are still part of it today.
The main occupation of the residents is agriculture. The church in the village of Mingaly is made of stone, with a bell tower, single-altar, and is dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. It was laid on October 29, 1858, and consecrated on July 14, 1863. In 1869, the church was plastered and whitewashed on the outside. The iconostasis was transported from the village of Shirokovsky in the Shadrinsk district and was touched up upon installation in the Mingaly church. In 1900, parishioners purchased the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God for the church, before which a prayer to the Mother of God is read every Sunday at the end of the liturgy, and an akathist is served in the evening. The church is associated with a building that houses a literacy school; there are public houses for the clergy.
