Recently Archbishop Irenée and Archdiocesan council members from across Canada came to the Vancouver area for an in-person meeting. At the end of a day of meetings, they adjourned to St Herman's, Langley for a tour of our present building and our temple-in-progress. Parish council members and volunteers from St Herman's hosted a time of fellowship in the space that is now rapidly taking shape. 

Nearly one hundred friends and clergy from the last two decades gathered on Sunday, April 23rd (Thomas Sunday) in Hamilton, Ontario, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of All Saints of North America Orthodox Church.   

Following the morning festal Liturgy, clergy from Toronto, Niagara, and Ottawa joined His Eminence Archbishop Irénée at the head tables for a grand banquet to mark the missionary work of the parish over twenty years.

CHRIST IS RISEN! INDEED HE IS RISEN!
LE CHRIST EST RESSUSCITÉ! EN VÉRITÉ, IL EST RESSUSCITÉ!

To the dearly beloved Pastors, Monastics and Faithful of the Archdiocese of Canada, Orthodox Church in America

As we come to the final steps of our spiritual crossing of the Lenten desert, we are greeted by the joyful proclamation of the glorious Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. In these troubled times, this good news fills us with hope since the victory of Christ over death is the true meaning of our existence on this earth.
