The reference book of the Omsk diocese from 1914, compiled by Ioann Goloshubin, describes the old church in the village of Nadezhdino. At that time, 4 poods and 20 pounds of wax candles were sold in the village, and 5 poods were sold annually. A ministerial school funded by the zemstvo-governor's collection operated in the village, where up to 50 children of both sexes were educated. 19 desyatins of arable land were allocated for the clergy, for which there was a plan.
The priest lived in a good house with a barn, cellar, bathhouse, stables, and shed built with the parishioners' funds. The psalmist rented an apartment, and the clergy received firewood from the plot and partially purchased it. The priest received 300 rubles a year from the treasury, while the psalmist received 100 rubles. Brotherhood incomes amounted to up to 450 rubles a year. Parishioners actively attended services and willingly participated in the repair of the church and the clergy's apartments. Easter processions with icons took place in homes, and in the summer, after sowing, cross processions were held in the fields with prayers. On December 25, January 6, and on church holidays, the clergy visited parishioners with the Holy Cross, and on January 6, with holy water.
The main occupations of the parishioners included agriculture, livestock breeding, and fishing, which were sold at the Omsk market. There were butter factories in the village. According to the clergy's staff, a priest and a psalmist were required.
The old Kazan parish was destroyed during the Soviet era. At the end of the 20th century, a new church was built in Nadezhdino. The Holy Kazan Church is known to Omsk pilgrims. It is located near the Irtysh River, where a source of clean water 40 meters deep was recently drilled, sufficient for all of Nadezhdino. A baptistery with a font for the full immersion of believers has been built. The bell tower of Prince Vladimir rings with six bells. This year, a 2.5-meter tall cross was erected in front of the church.
The Holy Kazan Church is famous for its icons. A few years ago, a miracle occurred here: the ancient icon of Archangel Michael was renewed. Prayers before the church icon of the Kazan Mother of God healed a five-year-old child who could not walk.
